Punk Core Records was a record label founded in 1989 by Dave Amcher (also known as Dave Punk Core).

Punk Core Records is often credited for helping revive street punk, a genre that had flourished in early 1980s Britain but had disappeared by the end of the decade.

Punk Core Records brought global exposure to many underground bands, especially those from the New York area.
