The Houston Astros Radio Network is an American broadcast network of radio affiliates in operation since 1962 that broadcast coverage of the Houston Astros before, during, and after that team's games. Radio content is broadcast in both the English and Spanish languages. It consists of 26 stations (and 4 broadcast relay stations) that span across three states with its English flagship station as KBME and its Spanish flagship station as K231CE (an FM translator fed by an HD Radio signal of KODA), both in Houston. In addition to its affiliates, Houston Astros Radio Network content can be listened to on satellite radio via Sirius XM Radio and online using both MLB.tv and Sirius XM Internet Radio.

Sports commentators for the network are Robert Ford and Steve Sparks in English and Francisco Romero and Alex Treviño in Spanish. Astros games returned to KTRH in 2019, while also continuing to air on 790, KBME.{{cite news |url=https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Majority-of-Astros-games-radio-740-AM-next-season-13388752.php |title=Astros return to KTRH |author=Barron, David |newspaper=Houston Chronicle |date=November 13, 2018 |access-date=February 15, 2019}}{{cite news |url=http://blog.chron.com/ultimateastros/2013/02/13/astros-announce-2013-tv-radio-broadcast-crews |title=Ashby, Ford to headline Astros' revamped broadcasting team |author=Barron, David |newspaper=Houston Chronicle |date=February 13, 2013 |access-date=December 1, 2013}}{{cite news |url=http://blog.chron.com/ultimateastros/2013/08/26/astros-spanish-broadcast-team-hits-the-road |title=Astros Spanish broadcast team hits the road |author=Ortiz, José de Jesús |newspaper=Houston Chronicle |date=August 26, 2013 |access-date=December 1, 2013}}
