Cheiron Studios (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɕɛ̌jrɔn]) was a recording studio located in the Kungsholmen district of Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 1992 by Denniz PoP and Tom Talomaa, it was known for being a place where popular music acts of the late 1990s/early 2000s, such as Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, Robyn, NSYNC, Britney Spears, and Westlife produced many of their greatest hits. In addition, Cheiron Studios was also a record label, Cheiron Records, affiliated with BMG for a while, and a music publishing service (Cheiron Songs), although those ventures were later abandoned in favour of music production.

After Denniz PoP's death in 1998, Cheiron closed in 2000.[1] Talomaa and Max Martin reformed the company as Maratone, while Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze formed the Location, and David Kreuger and Per Magnusson started A Side Productions. The studio is currently owned by Roxy Recordings, which also includes the Hanssonic Studios of Anders Hansson.
