WDVE is an FM radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA at 102.5 MHz. It is often referred to by Pittsburghers as simply D.V.E.

The station, which was once known as KQV-FM, has aired rock music since 1969. The station's call letters were chosen at the height of the "hippie" era. In early print marketing the phrase "Rock 'n Stereo WDVE 102.5" was set in white text against a black oval background surrounded by vivid rainbow-like colors. Later the logo was rendered in white and yellow with red accents against a black background, generally using the slogan "DVE Rocks."

In recent years, the station's format has gradually drifted towards "classic rock" with current releases rarely incorporated into the playlist. The station is currently owned by Clear Channel Communications, and (along with WBGG) serves as the flagship radio station of the Pittsburgh Steelers radio network. For years it was the home for Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, promoting itself with such oddities as a young Jaromir Jagr reading the morning weather forecast in heavily accented English.

WDVE is home to the morning show Disc Jockey's Jim Krenn and Randy Baumann.
