Gemini Records

Gemini Records er et norsk plateselskap opprettet i 1984.

Det ble startet og drevet av Bjørn Petersen, primært for å gi ut plater av jazzsaksofonist Bjarne Nerem. Etter hvert ble formålet å gi ut mainstream jazz, mens det som ikke var mainstream ble utgitt på merket Taurus.

Platene ble i stor grad spilt inn i Rainbow Studios med Jan Erik Kongshaug som lydtekniker. Produksjon av plater ble nedlagt 2006, men foretaket bestod gjennom en del import av jazz.

Bjørn Petersen mottok i 2007 Ellaprisen fra Oslo Jazzfestival for sitt virke med plateselskapet, samt Kongens fortjenstmedalje i gull i 2009.
