The Bulgarian National Radio (Bulgarian: Българско национално радио, Balgarsko natsionalno radio; abbreviated БНР, BNR) is the national radio network of Bulgaria. It was founded on 30 March 1930 as Rodno radio ("Native radio") by a group of intellectuals. Broadcasting began in June the same year. On January 1, 1993, BNR was admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union.

BNR has two radio stations in Bulgarian, Horizon Radio and Hristo Botev, as well as a world service called Radio Bulgaria broadcasting in 11 languages: Bulgarian, Russian, English, German, French, Spanish, Serbian, Greek, Albanian, Turkish and Arabic).
