"Radio Silence" is a song by Australian musician Gretta Ray, released on 3 August 2018 as the fourth and final single from Ray's debut EP Here and Now (2018). In speaking about the EP, Ray said "'Radio Silence' is pure heartbreak and a heavy sense of guilt."[2]

Ray told the ABC "I have this obsession with this sister song concept. I love writing about the same scenario but from a totally different angle or using a completely different emotion to tell the same story. So, I would say that 'Time' is quite hopeful and optimistic in comparison to 'Radio Silence', yet it's about a very similar scenario."[3] The song was Ray's debut single in the United Kingdom.[1]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2020, the song was nominated for Most Performed Alternate Work of the Year.[4][5]

In 2021, the song was certified gold in Australia.
