KLIF (570 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Dallas, Texas. The station is owned by Cumulus Media. KLIF broadcasts a talk radio format to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The station's studios are located in the Victory Park district in Dallas, just north of downtown, and the transmitter site is in Coppell near North Lake.

In July, 2016 KLIF filed an application for an FCC construction permit to diplex from the KTCK AM transmitter site and decrease night power to 2,400 watts.

KLIF is one of two talk stations owned by Cumulus in the Dallas Metroplex. Sister station 820 WBAP airs mostly local talk shows while much of KLIF's schedule is made up of nationally syndicated talk shows. KLIF's two local weekday programs are a news show in the morning and a talk show in the afternoon. The rest of the day, KLIF carries Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, John Bachelor, Jim Bohannon and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Weekends include shows on money, law, real estate and cars, as well as brokered programming. Most hours being with Westwood One News.
