Randi Rhodes (born Randi Buten on January 28, 1959 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American liberal talk radio personality, formerly featured on Air America Radio and Nova M Radio and now on Premiere Radio Networks. Her eponymous program, The Randi Rhodes Show, airs live Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm Eastern Time.

After hosting her show on the network for four years, on April 9, 2008, Air America Radio CEO Charlie Kireker issued a press release stating that Rhodes was leaving the network. On April 10, 2008, Nova M Radio announced Rhodes would join its radio network, and on April 14, 2008 The Randi Rhodes Show returned to the airwaves from her old studios at WJNO (Clear Channel), West Palm Beach. However, Rhodes has not been heard on her show since early February 2009, and it has been suggested that she and Nova M Radio have also parted company. A statement from one of the network's owners appeared on their official website, but offered no explanation, claiming terms of Rhodes' contract. The Randi Rhodes Show Web site was temporarily inaccessible on February 16, 2009 but returned online later that day with a letter to supporters. On April 23, 2009, it was announced that Ms. Rhodes struck a deal with Clear Channel subsidiary Premiere Radio Networks, a national radio syndicate. Rhodes will broadcast her three-hour show from Washington starting May 11, 2009.

Rhodes was brought up in a Jewish household, but does not discuss her religious views publicly. Her father Norman was a mechanical engineer and World War II veteran and her mother Loretta worked in a dress shop. She had one sister, Ellen, who died of breast cancer. Her sister had a daughter, Jessica, whom Rhodes and her husband Jim raised.
