Aubrey Mayhew (October 2, 1927 – March 22, 2009) was an influential American music producer, songwriter, and music services professional, known for his significant contributions to the country music scene. Born in Washington, D.C., he was the son of Aubrey and Verna Mayhew and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Mayhew's career in music began in 1946 when he became the booker and later the director of the country music radio program Hayloft Jamboree on WCOP in Boston, Massachusetts.

In the early 1960s, Mayhew joined Pickwick Records in New York City, where he produced one of the first memorial recordings of President John F. Kennedy following the President's assassination in 1963. He went on to establish his own record label, Little Darlin', in 1966, which became known for its successful collaborations with country and western singer Johnny Paycheck. Mayhew co-wrote several of Paycheck's songs, contributing to the artist's popularity.

Towards the end of the 1960s, Mayhew suspended operations at Little Darlin' and launched a new label, Certron, which included artist Ronnie Dove in its roster. Mayhew also owned Charlie Parker Records, which he sold in 1981. Beyond his music career, Mayhew was a passionate collector of John F. Kennedy memorabilia and authored the book "The World's Tribute to John F. Kennedy in Medallic Art" in 1966. His son, Parris Mayhew, became a guitarist in the punk band Cro-Mags. Aubrey Mayhew passed away in Nashville, Tennessee, leaving behind a legacy as a pivotal figure in the music industry.
