Radio Free Europe 2025 is an EP from R.E.M., released on 2 May 2025 through Craft Recordings. It takes its title from the band's debut single, the song that introduced them before the release of their first album, Murmur, in 1983.

It sits in a catalogue that runs from Murmur through to Collapse Into Now in 2011, covering fifteen studio albums in all. As an EP, it works as a small, focused addition to that story rather than a new chapter, and it's best approached as a companion to the band's early years.
