Polen Records is an independent music label based in Bogota, Colombia. Created in 2006 by the producer Felipe Alvarez. Polen Record's first release was Bajotierra's Los Días Adelante (2006), followed by Bomba Estéreo's debut EP, Vol.1, and Chocquibtown's debut LP, Somos Pacífico.

Since then, Polen Records has produced or released some of the most important acts of Colombia and South America. In 2013, Polen was nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards with Bomba Estéreo's album Elegancia Tropical (2012) as Best Alternative Music Album.
