Bedroom Community is an Icelandic and American music collective and record label which was founded in 2006 by producer Valgeir Sigurðsson, alongside fellow artists Nico Muhly and Ben Frost, later adding more artists to the label. Based on the outskirts of Reykjavík, Iceland, Bedroom Community is also the home of Greenhouse Studios.

Bedroom Community was described by Drowned in Sound as "one of the best guarantors of quality, even importance, out there" known for its "emotionally powerful music"; previously, they had called it "[t]he best record label in the whole of Iceland and maybe even the entire world." The Line of Best Fit has described the label as "more of an ecosystem cultivating music than a traditional record label", claiming that "within ten years they've gone from being a side concern for a bunch of preternaturally talented composers and producers to become one of the most respected record labels in... the world?"
