HOT FM91.3 (formerly Radio 91.3 before 1 August 2012, and WKRZ 91.3 before 31 December 2004) is an English-language radio station based in Singapore. It is a radio station of SPH UnionWorks, a joint venture between Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) and NTUC Media, which also owns Kiss 92FM and UFM 1003.

The station was firstly known as WKRZ in Mediawork. After media merger in Singapore, WKRZ 91.3 had a change in name together with sister station UFM 1003. Both of them added the word 'Radio' in front of their frequency, and that had been their names for the past decade.

The station works closely with its parent company to provide information and freebies to its listeners. For example, some articles read are selected from The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, My Paper, Shin Min Daily News and Lianhe Wanbao.

On 18 January 2013, SPH UnionWorks released a media statement stating that The Married Men have been dropped from HOT FM 91.3 with immediate effect due to "inappropriate content" during a morning radio segment known as "Kena Pluck" on Thursday 17 January 2013. They had been producing for SPH Unionworks since 2007.

On 25 June 2013, HOT FM91.3 beat 987FM and became Singapore's Number 1 Hit Music Station
