'''''Pirate Radio Four''''' was a magazine show broadcast on the VHF/FM frequencies of [[BBC Radio 4]] in 1985 and 1986. Part of the station's drive to attract younger listeners, it was broadcast during the mornings in the school summer holidays and was aimed at children of about 8–14 years old. It also had a sister programme, ''[[Cat's Whiskers]]'', aimed at younger listeners.

The show was noted for featuring a new ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial, ''[[Slipback]]'', during its first run, and also featured regular appearances by [[Sue Townsend]]'s character [[Adrian Mole]].

Two series of three programmes were broadcast. In 1985 the programme aired throughout the morning, from 9:05{{nbsp}}am until 12noon whereas the 1986 series ended at the earlier time of 10:45{{nbsp}}am.

The host was [[Steve Blacknell]].<ref>[https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/radio4/fm/1985-07-25 BBC Genome Project - BBC Radio 4 listings 25 July 1985]</ref>
