The House of Radio (Greek: Ραδιομέγαρο, Radiomegaro) is an office and broadcasting installation building in Athens, Greece. It was constructed in 1968–69, during the military dictatorship for the housing of EIRT (National Radio Television Foundation), later renamed to Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT).
On June 11, 2013 with the closure of ERT the redundant workers, occupied the building, which became the scene of large-scale demonstrations on the same day, on 11 September and 7 November. On 7 November the riot police invaded, occupied and evacuated the building, evicting the workers.
