Ukrainian Radio (Ukrainian: Українське радіо, romanizedUkrainske Radio) is the publicly funded radio broadcaster in Ukraine since 1924. In 2017 its parent company National Radio Company of Ukraine merged with national TV company into the country's public broadcaster Suspilne. Until the creation of the National Public Broadcasting Company (NPBC) of Ukraine, the NRCU was an independent company. General producer of Radio Ukraine's channels since 2017 is Dmytro Khorkin.

Ukrainian Radio Directorate of Suspilne is a structural subdivision of the company, which integrates five broadcasting channels, the studios of Radio House and the Recording House of Radio Ukraine, and five radio ensembles.

November 16 is celebrated as the Day of Radio, Television and Communications Workers in Ukraine in honor of the start of broadcasting of the Ukrainian Radio in 1924.

Ukrainian Radio broadcasts on AM, FM, satellite, cable TV-networks throughout Ukraine, the Internet and DAB+ (only in Kyiv). It also uses FM-OIRT and cable radio network, but its usage is being phased out in favour of FM, digital broadcasting and the Internet. Also it has mobile app suspilne.radio for Android and iOS.
