Upsetter Records was a Los Angeles, California-based record label founded in 1978 by the influential punk artist Chris Desjardins, best known as Chris D., and animation artist Judith Bell.

Named in tribute to Lee "Scratch" Perry and the dub reggae, popular with the early punks, Upsetter was created to release the early discography of the Flesh Eaters, the punk rock band fronted by Desjardins. The only exception in the label's catalog is the seminal Tooth and Nail compilation released in 1979, an album full of outstanding early Californian punk rock from the Controllers, Middle Class, the Germs, U.X.A., Negative Trend, and the Flesh Eaters.
