Stomp Off is an American jazz record company and label founded in 1980 by Bob Erdos in York, Pennsylvania.[1][2] The label's first release was Feelin' Devilish by Waldo's Gutbucket Serenaders.[3]

It was described in 1986 as concentrating on "jazz in the styles of the 1920s or earlier, as played by contemporary musicians."[2] Up to then, the recordings were released on LP only.[2] The roster soon covered musicians from the US, Europe, and Japan.[3]

Erdos died on March 25, 2017.[4] By that time, the label had released more than 430 albums, 80 of which were available by digital download.[4]
