U-Iliot Records (pronounced "you-elliott records") is a record label founded by members of Canadian heavy metal band Boize. Initially, all five members of the band were equal partners; vocalist Perry Blainey, guitarists Robert Kourie and Steve Berger, bassist and keyboardist Stéphane Fania and drummer Scott MacDonald. After the break-up of Boize in the summer of 1993, founding members Fania and Kourie subsequently took over the ownership of the record label and kept it alive through their bands Emissary and Breaking Violet, though it was never used to release new material. In the summer of 1998, Kourie forfeited his share of the company when he left Breaking Violet, resulting in the complete ownership of U-Iliot Records being inherited by Fania.
Fania revived the company in May 2011 and began re-issuing out-of-print material in mid-November 2011, a month shy of the company's twentieth-anniversary.
