Universal Music Enterprises (UMe, stylized as UMe) is the catalogue division of Universal Music Group. It includes Hip-O Records, Universal Chronicles, and UM3. Under various divisions, it reissues many classic albums from the UMG back catalogue, and also various compilation albums, including series such as the 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection and Icon budget lines and the 2-disc Gold compilations. UMe also handles synchronization licenses for films, television and video games.

The UMe label is primarily used for releases in the United States. Outside the US, the labels UMC (Univeral Music Catalogue) or UMR (Universal Music Recordings) are used.
