Big Vin Records is an American record label based in Arlington, Texas. The company was formed in February 2006 by former Pantera and Damageplan–and current Hellyeah–drummer, Vinnie Paul Abbott, and has a distribution deal with Fontana Records, which in turn is owned by Universal Music Group. Abbott started the label a year after the on-stage murder of his brother, Dimebag Darrell, on December 8, 2004. Seventh Void, the Hillbilly Orchestra, Fountainhead, and Mark "The Chinaman" Britten are among the artists signed to the label.
