Dawn Records was an American record label. It was founded as a subsidiary of Seeco Records in 1954 and was run by Sidney Siegel.

Dawn began to release albums in the mid-1950s, issuing primarily jaz recordings, but also pop, R&B, and folk revival material. While it was active only for a few years, it released some significant jazz releases. Its holdings were bought later by Biograph Records and then by Fresh Sound Records, both of which reissued much of its catalog on CD.[1]
