Canteen Girl is an American radio program designed for military personnel that debuted on NBC on August 28, 1942.

Phyllis Jeanne Creore created the program based on her experiences serving refreshment to, and dancing with, military men one night a week at the Stage Door Canteen canteen in New York City. On the radio show, Creore performed dramatic monologues and popular songs. Creore answered requests on the program, dedicating songs to the military people who asked for them.

Canteen Girl was broadcast from 6:30 to 6:45 p. m. Eastern War Time on Fridays. Neal Hopkins wrote the scripts, and Creore wrote words and music for the show's theme, "This Is My Wish".
