Nevis Radio is an Independent Local Radio station that broadcasts from the Ben Nevis Estate area of Fort William in Scotland and broadcasting to the communities in the surrounding region of Lochaber including Skye, Fort Augustus, Mallaig, Kinlochleven and all parts the Western Highlands. It is part of the Sky News Network.

Nevis Radio is Lochaber's very own radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from Fort William. The station launched back in 1992 with Ski FM from the Nevis Range ski resort. Every day, they kept skiers up to date with conditions on Aonach Mor. This was then followed by Holiday FM during the summer. It wasn't long until those behind the station's trial broadcasts realised that Locaber needed a permanent voice. Nevis Community Radio Action Group formed to raise funds and make a local radio station possible. Nevis Radio was awarded a full-time license back in 1994 and has been on the air ever since. Broadcasting to Lochaber and beyond.

The station broadcasts on 96.6 MHz (Fort William), 97.0 MHz (Glencoe), 102.3 MHz (Skye & Mallaig) and 102.4 (Loch Leven) FM, the station also transmits live on the net to UK listeners only. In 2008, it also started to provide a 'sustaining service' for Lochbroom FM in the Ullapool area outwith that station's locally-produced hours, but this was later suspended in April 2008.
