Crosley Radio is an audio electronic manufacturing company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. It takes its name from the original Crosley Radio Corporation which operated from 1921 to 1956. Today Crosley markets turntables, radios, jukeboxes, speakers, cassette players, CD players, and media stands. A division, Crosley Furniture, launched in 2009, produces home furniture.

The brand has become controversial among collectors of vinyl records, with critics describing many models as novelty items rather than professional audio equipment because of their low-cost construction and stylus design. Crosley products frequently emphasize retro styling inspired by earlier consumer electronics designs. The company is particularly known for portable suitcase-style record players such as the Crosley Cruiser.
