RCA Studio A is a music recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee built and founded in 1964 by Chet Atkins, Owen Bradley and Harold Bradley. Originally known simply by the name "RCA Victor Nashville Sound Studios" (or "RCA Studios" for short), along with the adjacent RCA Studio B, it became known in the 1960s for becoming an essential factor and location to the development of the musical production style and sound engineering technique known as the Nashville Sound.[1][2]

In 2015, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Since 2016, it has housed Low Country Sound, a record label imprint run by Dave Cobb.[3]
