Q102 is a commercial radio station in Dublin, owned by UTV Radio. It broadcasts on 102.2 MHz FM. They are licensed to target the 35+ age group, and must provide hourly news, as well as current events programming.

The station was launched as Lite 102.2 and was jokingly known as the taxi drivers radio station, as this appeared to be their main target. On purchasing the station, UTV rebranded it to Q102, the name of a former Dublin pirate radio station, although the LiteFM name still exists in many parts of the website, including much of the file hierarchy and alt text on images. The rebrand also changed the station's style of programming, although not their target market.

In September 2005 to present, it became the most popular Dublin radio station in the JNLR figures, for its 35+ target audience.
