EmArcy Records is a jazz record label founded in 1954 by Mercury Records, and today a European jazz label owned by Universal Music Group. The name is a phonetic spelling of "MRC", the initials for Mercury Record Company.
During the 1950s and 1960s, musicians such as Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan recorded for EmArcy.
Although EmArcy is currently part of the Decca Label Group, much of its earlier catalogue is now managed by Verve Records.
