Vinilkosmo is an independent record label in Donneville, near Toulouse, France. It only produces and distributes artists who sing in Esperanto.
History
Vinilkosmo was created in 1990 by Floréal Martorell in the framework of the Esperanto music association EUROKKA. In January 1999, Vinilkosmo separated from EUROKKA, and went professional. Since July 2009, Vinilkosmo has offered a legal download platform for most of the released albums on its website, Vinilkosmo-MP3.

Vinilkosmo became famous in the Esperanto public with its project Kolekto 2000. It produced ten original high-quality albums in its own recording studio from 1998 to 2000:
- JoMo kaj Liberecanoj

- Merlin : Por La Mondo
- La Porkoj : Ŝako
