Empire Entertainment ("Empire Enterprises"; NYSE: EMPE) (commonly referred to as "Empire") is a publicly traded company that was founded by Lucious and Cookie Lyon.

Although it is primarily first and foremost a multi-platinum recording label and studio, Empire also has its own fashion line, high-end liquor as well as involvement in sports management, publishing and electronic gaming.

Empire also owns a spin off label, Gutter Life Records, which focuses primarily on artists from the streets who possess a raw talent, hence the name "Gutter Life"; Empire X-Stream (formerly known as SwiftStream), a multi-platform online streaming service; as well as Lyon Dynasty, another spin-off label initially formed by Cookie and Hakeem Lyon as a competitor for Empire.
