Calla Records (defunct) was a small New York City soul label, founded and run by the notorious Nate McCalla in 1965. McCalla was an associate and bodyguard for Morris Levy who headed Roulette Records. The label's first releases were initially distributed by Cameo-Parkway Records, Inc.. For the next few albums (and for the majority of it's success) Calla Records became part of the Roulette Records group of labels but handled its own distribution for many releases.

From 1975 on, after a couple years of inactivity, Calla was briefly distributed by the obscure Shakat Records before CBS took over distribution for the albums. CBS also reissued several of the older Calla albums on its Epic subsidiary in the late 1970s.

Calla Records was closed when Nate McCalla suddenly disappeared to Europe.
