The VPRO (stylized vpro; originally an acronym for Vrijzinnig Protestantse Radio Omroep, lit. 'Liberal Protestant Radio Broadcaster', nowadays known as Omroepvereniging VPRO) is a Dutch public broadcaster and a member of the Dutch public broadcasting system. The VPRO presents itself as a progressive broadcaster and mainly produces liberal, thought-provoking programmes focusing on society, culture and the arts.

The VPRO was founded on 29 May 1926 by the liberal Protestant section of Dutch society, which wanted a radio broadcaster that would reflect liberal Protestant views and perspectives. The VPRO thus became one of the Netherlands' many broadcasters.
