KOKI-TV, virtual channel 23 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by the Cox Media Group subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV-affiliate KMYT-TV (channel 41). The two stations share studio facilities located on South Memorial Drive in southeastern Tulsa; KOKI maintains transmitter facilities located on South 273rd East Avenue in southeastern Tulsa County (near Broken Arrow).

On cable, the station is available on Cox Communications channel 5 in standard definition and digital channel 1005 in high definition.

The UHF channel 23 allocation in Tulsa was first occupied by KCEB, which signed on the air on March 13, 1954 as the second television station in Tulsa (after KOTV, channel 6). It was founded by oilman Elfred Beck as an ABC affiliate, but it also carried programming from NBC and the DuMont Television Network as secondary affiliations. However, as electronics manufacturers were not required to include UHF tuners on television sets at the time, ABC and NBC allowed KOTV (channel 6) to continue "cherry-picking" each network's stronger shows. The station operated from a studio facility located on the Lookout Mountain section of west Tulsa.
