Heart is a network of thirteen independent adult contemporary radio stations in the United Kingdom, broadcasting a mix of local and networked programming, although only the stations in Scotland and Wales still have their own shows. Ten of the stations are owned and operated by Global, while the other three are owned and operated under separate franchise agreements. The national version of the network is widely available on Global Player, Freeview, Sky, Freesat, Virgin Media and Digital One DAB.

As of May 2025, Heart has officially surpassed BBC Radio 2 to became UK's biggest radio network with over 13.4 million weekly listeners actively listen to the Heart radio stations, with bigger growth on their dedicated themed stations such as Heart Musicals.
