Fosseway Radio was a local commercial radio station based in Leicestershire, and owned by Lincs FM Group. It served the south-west of that county, as well as North Warwickshire. It was based on "Castle Street" in Hinckley. The name of the station referred to the nearby Fosse Way.

The transmitter was in the village of Barwell, but the station principally served the towns (and suburbs) of Hinckley and Nuneaton.

Together with a sister station, Oak 107 FM, Fosseway Radio was relaunched as Oak FM on Wednesday March 26 2008. The two stations merged, but have maintained individual services for the two respective areas. This was however quickly scrapped, resulting in the station losing 20 hours a day of local content. Both the Hinckley and Loughborough services were co-located in Coalville in July 2008.
