Radio Reloj (Spanish for Radio Clock) is a government-owned Spanish-language radio station in Cuba. It carries an all-news format and is based in Havana.

The station is noted for the sound of a ticking clock in the background, with its hosts announcing the time, every minute of broadcast. The station dates back from an era when some Cubans were too poor to own a watch or clock. They could get the time from listening to Radio Reloj (pronounced "ray-LOW").
