Go Radio Glasgow is a commercial digital audio broadcasting station based in Glasgow, Scotland. It broadcasts to Glasgow and Central Scotland on the Switch Scotland digital radio multiplex.

Go Radio was originally conceived in 2016, as a fully local Glasgow-based radio service in response to a perceived decrease in Glasgow-specific programming on the city's other local radio stations, such as Clyde 1.[2] Its original presentation lineup included former Clyde presenters, including Suzie McGuire.[3]
