Drivetime is a radio term, used normally to describe weekday late afternoon and early evening (the time when many people will be driving home from work). Many stations call programmes broadcast during these periods their 'drivetime shows'.

Drivetime is also a sub-genre of music generally allied with the power ballad, and consisting of music deemed especially suitable for listening to whilst driving. Commonly advertised in compilations, the genre is usually associated with record labels K-TEL and Time-Life .

Examples of drivetime songs include 'Hazard' by Richard Marx, 'Drive' by The Scorpions and 'Broken Wings' by Mr Mister .
