RTÉ Chill was a digital radio station of the Irish public-service broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ). It broadcast mostly chillout and ambient music as well as other low-tempo genres and typically features the output of such cutting-edge artists as Leftfield, The Orb, Sigur Rós, and Juana Molina.

It started broadcasting in March 2008, but had an official launch alongside its sister services on 1 December 2008.[1] The station, which timeshares with RTÉjr Radio is on air between 21:00 and 7:00,[2] and is available on channel 207 on Saorview, Ireland's free-to-air Digital Terrestrial Television service.[citation needed]

On 6 November 2019, RTÉ management announced that, as part of a major cost-saving program, all its digital radio stations would be closed, including RTÉ Chill.[3] In March 2021, it was announced that the station would remain on air via Saorview, cable and online streaming, but the DAB network would close at the end of the month.[4]

In November 2025, it was announced that Chill's last broadcast day would be 31 December.[5]
