Surge Radio is an English student radio station based at the University of Southampton. Founded in 1976 as Radio Heffalump, the station was renamed Radio Glen the following year and originally broadcast from the university's Glen Eyre Halls complex.

Surge Radio broadcasts online from its website, but is also played in select buildings of the University. Alumni of Surge Radio include broadcasters Spencer Kelly, Scott Mills and Chris Stark.
