Abstract: The covering radius of a subset $C$ of the symmetric group $mathrm{S}_n$ is the maximal Hamming distance of an element of $mathrm{S}_n$ from $C$. This note determines the covering radii of the finite projective general linear groups. It turns out that the covering radius of $mathrm{PGL}_2(q)$ is $q-2$ if $q$ is even, and is $q-3$ if $q$ is odd.
