Tall Poppies Records is an Australian record label founded in September 1991 by Belinda Webster. It focuses on recording solo and chamber music in the classical genre. It is particularly dedicated to promoting the work of Australian composers.

The name of the label derives from the "tall poppy syndrome", because those involved feel that, in Australia, there is a tendency to criticise or downplay those who achieve success.^[1]
