United Hot Clubs of America was a record label established in 1936 by American Record Producer, Milt Gabler (1911-2001). Gabler sold UHCA recordings from his Commodore Music Shop in New York.

Originally, the records were sold through a subscription service, but subsequently were more broadly available.
