Owl Studios is a jazz record label founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 2005.

Owl Studios was started in 2005 by Al Hall, an Indianapolis businessman, to promote local jazz musicians.

His plan was to have the label pay little or nothing in recording fees but immediately share revenue with musicians.

[1] Owl's roster includes Indianapolis saxophonist Rob Dixon, jam band Garaj Mahal led by Chicago guitarist Fareed Haque, and a new version of the Headhunters, a jazz fusion band active in 1970s that featured Herbie Hancock;[1] drummer Mike Clark, vocalist Cynthia Layne, trumpeter Derrick Gardner, Indianapolis pianist and composer Steve Allee, clarinetist and saxophonist Frank Glover, the Busselli-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra; Chicago trumpeter Pharez Whitted, and New York City groups Bill Moring & Way Out East, and the Rick Germanson Trio.

The following year Owl started the Emerging Jazz Artist Project to promote new musicians.
