Radio Romance is a 1996 Philippine slice of life romantic comedy film written and directed by Jose Javier Reyes from an original story developed by Mia Concio Imperial. The film's title is derived from DWRR-FM's then-branding Radio Romance, used from July 1989 to April 1996. The film stars Gelli de Belen, Paolo Abrera, Claudine Barretto, Rico Yan (who was introduced in this film), Sharmaine Arnaiz, Robin Da Roza, and John Estrada in the lead roles while supporting casts include Jolina Magdangal, Gina Pareño, father-and-son Koko and Noel Trinidad, Amable Quiambao, Nikka Valencia, Ogie Diaz, Ernie Zarate, and Malou Crisologo.

Produced and released by Star Cinema, it was theatrically premiered on February 14, 1996, as the film studio's Valentine's Day offering. The film predated the 2003 British-American romantic comedy film Love Actually and Japanese romance anime Tsuredure Children. It also marked the first film where Claudine Barretto and Rico Yan paired up together.

As part of the film's 25th anniversary, the film was digitally restored and remastered in 4K resolution by ABS-CBN Film Restoration and Central Digital Lab, and it was digitally released on January 14, 2021, via KTX.ph.
