Rockland Records was an American record label founded by singer, songwriter and record producer R. Kelly in 1997. It was launched as an imprint of Interscope Records, a division of Universal Music Group. The label signed Chicago-based musical acts including singer Sparkle, hip hop duo Boo & Gotti, and rapper Strings, among others.

The label has only released three albums before folding in 2002, following controversy surrounding Kelly's alleged pedophilia, including a sex tape scandal.[1] As of 2024, with Kelly incarcerated in federal prison for multiple sex crimes, Rockland remains defunct with its rights under the control of Interscope Geffen A&M Records.[citation needed]
