WDR 200 ist eine Aktion des Hörfunksenders WDR 2, bei der Hörer abstimmen können, welche Musik sie am besten finden. Die Aktion hat seit 2002 viermal stattgefunden.

Nach einer mehrwöchigen Abstimmungsphase werden die 200 beliebtesten Songs in einer Hitparade gespielt. Das Sendekonzept sowie die Abstimmung weisen eine beachtliche Hörerzahl auf. Bei der Abstimmung im Jahr 2007 wurden über eine Million Stimmen ausgewertet, davon rund 70.000 aus aller Welt.

2002, 2005 und 2007 wurden die 200 Titel in einer ganztägigen Sendung am Tag der Deutschen Einheit (3. Oktober) ausgestrahlt; 2009 wurde WDR 200 am 7. und 8. November gesendet.
