Danmarks Radios Pigekor

Danmarks Radios Pigekor - commonly abbreviated Radioens Pigekor, Radiopigekoret or simply Pigekoret - was the name from 1959 to 2001 of the girls choir of Danmarks Radio (from 1996 simply Danmarks Radio), the Danish national broadcasting corporation.

Principal conductors in this period were Lis Jacobsen (until 1961) and Tage Mortensen (1966-2001). Public funding was re-prioritized in 1983, and the choir was handed over to Danmarks Radio who managed it until 1999 when it was reintegrated into DR. In 2001 the choir was renamed to DR Radiopigekoret.

The name of the choir has evolved over time as follows:
- From 1938 to 1959: Statsradiofoniens Pigekor
- From 1959 to 2001: Danmarks Radios Pigekor
- From 2001 to 2008: DR Radiopigekoret
- Since 2008: DR PigeKoret
