Amphetamine Reptile Records (or AmRep) was a record label which was founded in 1986 by then Marine Tom Hazelmyer in Washington State. Originally the label existed solely to release records by Hazelmyer's band, Halo of Flies, but eventually the label's roster expanded to include releases by Helmet, The Melvins, The Cows, Helios Creed, Chokebore, Servotron and others. Hazelmyer moved the label to Minneapolis early on. Amphetamine Reptile is also known as Amrep Industries. It was known for its roster of noise rock artists, with the word noise featured behind the record label's name.

The label is best known for the Dope, Guns 'n' Fucking In The Streets series of compilations.
