P572 (prononced P-five-seven-two) is a Canadian independent record label founded in 2004 in Quebec City by Sam Murdock and Sébastien Leduc.

To date, the label has released about a hundred albums including The Singularity, Phase I & II by Thisquietarmy (Eric Quach) and Away (Michel Langevin), 3/4 and Prospare by Arthur Comeau (Radio Radio), Songs for Harmonium and Drum Machine by Darren Hayman, Les années Monsieur by Keith Kouna, Désolé mouvement geste by Navet Confit as well as two books and several fanzines. Since 2012, several albums by the group Les Goules and Alaclair Ensemble as well as Darlène by Hubert Lenoir have been reissued on vinyl in limited and numbered editions.

In Canada, some projects have been co-produced with the following record labels: 7e ciel, Simone Records, Label Obscura and Mutefakemusic.

The duo won two Félix for the cover of the year with Alaclair Ensemble in 2017 and Koriass in 2019 at ADISQ.
