BBC Radio Leeds is the BBC Local Radio service for the English metropolitan county of West Yorkshire.

BBC Radio Leeds broadcasts from studios at St. Peters Square in Leeds on 92.4 (Holme Moss), 95.3 (Luddenden, two miles west of Halifax & Wharfedale, two miles north of Otley), 102.7 (Keighley, on Rombalds Moor near Riddlesden) 103.9 (Beecroft Hill, in Bramley near Leeds) FM, 774 (New Farnley, near the A58) AM and DAB. BBC Radio Leeds is also available on Freeview Channel 719

Initially, Radio Leeds had a low powered transmitter in Meanwood Park, on 94.6 MHz. This was at a time when VHF receivers were not widespread, and the station covered Leeds exclusively (and was funded by Leeds City Council, rather than the licence fee) instead of West Yorkshire as a whole.

The main VHF/FM transmitter moved to Holme Moss on 92.4 MHz, covering most of West Yorkshire. Unusually, this transmitter also transmits neighbouring services Radio Manchester and Radio Sheffield from separate directional aerials on the mast.

Radio Leeds is also carried on the Wharfedale and Luddenden relay transmitters on 95.3 MHz, from Keighley on 102.7 and from Beecroft Hill (West Leeds) on 103.9 MHz to fill in areas which are screened from Holme Moss by the topology of the area. The medium wave service on 774 kHz is transmitted from Farnley (also known as Leeds MF). The MW service was added when the Radio Leeds service area was expanded to cover the whole of West Yorkshire.
