PGP-RTB (Full Serbian name:"Produkcija Gramofonskih Ploča Radio-Televizije Beograd") was a major record label and chain record store in the former SFR Yugoslavia established in Belgrade, Socialist Republic of Serbia in 1958. It was the music production branch of the national Radio-Television Belgrade and a competitor to the largest former Yugoslav record company the Zagreb based Jugoton formed in 1947.

PGP-RTB is notable for signing numerous eminent former Yugoslav artists. The label has among others, released alboums by the Serbian cult band Riblja Čorba, Đorđe Balašević, Bajaga i Instruktori, Disciplina kičme, Kerber, Osmi Putnik, Pomoranča, Rambo Amadeus and certain albums of the Macedonian group Leb i Sol. Like Jugoton, PGP-RTB also had a licence to release foreign titles for the domestic market including notable international pop and rock music stars such as Dire Straits, The Police, Sting, Bryan Ferry, Style Council, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Status Quo, Bon Jovi and others.

During the breakup of Yugoslavia the company changed its name to PGP-RTS ("Produkcija Gramofonskih Ploča Radio-Televizije Srbije"), which is the music production of the Serbian National Radio-Television.
