Warna 942 is a Malay language radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, it broadcasts a full-service format serving Malay Singaporeans, including music, news, and religious programming.

The station's origins can be traced back to Radio Singapura's Malay Service, which began on 4 January 1959. The station began a relay on 94.2 FM on 15 July 1967. It was later rebranded as Radio 2 on 1 January 1982, and then Warna (colour) on 23 November 1991.

In a 2016 survey, Nielsen rated Warna 942 as the country's most listened-to Malay station. In a updated 2020 Nielsen survey, Warna 942 maintained its top spot for Malay stations.
