Mediaskare Records was an American independent record label specializing in heavy metal music. The label was founded by Baron Bodnar, with its offices located in Los Angeles, California. The label's prominent artists included Volumes,^[1] Bury Your Dead, and Silent Civilian.

In February 2008, it was announced that Mediaskare entered a partnership with Century Media Records. The deal centered on new marketing and distribution for Mediaskare artists. In late 2010, the label broke apart from Century Media for distribution and joined Suburban Noize/RED. In 2014, the label faced media scrutiny for label artist Reformers' lyrics relating to homosexuality, and released a statement defending freedom of artistic expression in response.^[2]
