WGCL-TV, virtual channel 46 (UHF digital channel 19), is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

The two stations share studios located on 14th Street in northwestern Atlanta; WGCL-TV's transmitter is located near North Druid Hills. WGCL-TV is the third-largest CBS-affiliated station by market size (WUSA in Washington, D.C. being the largest and KHOU in Houston being the second largest, both owned by Tegna, owner of Atlanta's NBC affiliate WXIA-TV, channel 11) that is not owned and operated by the network.

On cable, the station is available in standard definition on Comcast Xfinity channel 9 and Charter Spectrum channel 4, and in high definition on Xfinity channel 809 and Spectrum channel 704.
