KNXT, virtual and UHF digital channel 50, is a religious independent television station serving Fresno, California, United States, that is licensed to Visalia. The station is owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fresno. KNXT maintains studio facilities located on North Fresno Street (just north of downtown Fresno), and its transmitter is located on Blue Ridge in rural northwestern Tulare County.

The station first signed on the air on November 2, 1986; prior to the station's sign-on, the KNXT call letters were previously used downstate on the CBS owned-and-operated station on VHF channel 2 in Los Angeles from 1951 to 1984, when it adopted its current KCBS-TV calls.

Programming seen on KNXT is mainly of a Roman Catholic religious orient, with some shows being sourced from the Eternal Word Television Network; however, KNXT is somewhat less conservative doctrinally (but firmly in line with Catholic Church teachings). The station's programming consists of a mix of local daily and Sunday Mass, talk shows, music and variety programs, the Rosary, children's programs, and Catholic-targeted movies.

KNXT also carries a handful of Protestant produced programs that do not get into doctrinal issues (including children's shows), as well as some limited secular programming. The station's programming is simulcast on translator station KNXT-LP (channel 38) in Bakersfield. KNXT-LP was acquired by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fresno from Cocola Broadcasting on November 2, 2007, to serve as a repeater of KNXT.
