The Innes Book of Records is a television show made by the English singer-songwriter Neil Innes. It started in 1979 and ran for three series. Innes released two audio albums, The Innes Book of Records and Off the Record, of songs from the show.

Each episode in the series is an anthology of short music videos featuring Innes and other performers. At the beginning of each episode is a short introductory video; the first series showed a man in a spacesuit exploring a deserted house, finding a record player covered in cobwebs, sitting down and listening to a record, so beginning the first song and its accompanying video.
