Galaxy North East is an English regional radio station specialising in dance music and R'n'B. It is based in Wallsend, at the Silverlink Business Park, near the junction of the A1058 and the A19, near the Billy Mill roundabout. It is owned by the Global Radio UK as part of its Galaxy Network of stations.

Although originally called Galaxy 105-106, the name was changed to Galaxy North East in 2006, in line with other Galaxy stations. This year also saw a change in demographic from 15-29 to 15-34 and a new strapline of "passion for music, passion for life".
