Sondor is a Uruguayan record label .

The origins of Uruguay's oldest record label go back to 1938 in Montevideo, where Enrique Abal Salvo began recording his first 78 rpm records under the Son d'Or brand. The actual series record production began in 1941. Three years later, the next step in the development of the label followed with large commercial productions. The first recording of a 45 rpm record in South America was also made by Sondor in 1954. In 1960 the first stereo production was recorded. After the label founder's son Enrique Abal Oliú joined the company, the name was finally changed to today's Sondor . With Rafael Abal Oliú , the third generation of the family is now continuing the company's fortunes.

Among the artists who published on Sondor were, among many others, Alfredo Zitarrosa , Los Olimareños , Amalia de la Vega , Julio Sosa , Rubén Rada , José Carbajal , Santiago Chalar , Pepe Guerra , Miguel Villasboas , Donato Racciatti , Romeo Gavioli , Karibe con K , Mogambo and Eduardo Mateo .
