Delos Productions is an American record label. Long in Los Angeles but now headquartered in Sonoma, California, it specializes in classical music. The Delos label was founded in 1973 by Amelia S. Haygood (1919–2007), whose stewardship of the company made her a prominent figure in the classical recording industry.[1] She named the label after the Greek island of Delos, the birthplace of the Sun god Apollo, who brought music and healing to the world. The company's current director is Carol Rosenberger, an American pianist who recorded over 30 CDs for Delos in a career spanning more than three decades.

The company was one of the earliest classical labels to embrace digital recording, in 1979 beginning a collaboration with scientist Thomas Stockham, inventor of the Soundstream digital recording process. Many recordings are credited to John M. Eargle (1931–2007), a Grammy winner and Delos’ longtime Chief Engineer,[3] and the production team of Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz.
Since 2008, Delos recordings have been distributed worldwide through Naxos Records.
