Radio Borders is a radio station broadcasting to the Scottish Borders and North Northumberland from studios in Tweedbank, just outside Galashiels. The station is owned & operated by Bauer Radio and forms part of Bauer's Place Network of local FM stations.

Radio Borders regularly broadcasts local news, weather, and traffic information as well as sports coverage at weekends and a youth programme on Saturday evenings. Its music format consists of classic hits and music from the 1960s right through to the current today. The station holds some of the highest listening figures (linked to the population) amongst all UK local radio stations.

Alongside local output from its Tweedbank studios, Radio Borders also airs networked programming from sister stations Clyde 1 in Glasgow, Forth One in Edinburgh and Key 103 in Manchester.
