WUVN, virtual channel 18 (UHF digital channel 46), is a Univision-affiliated television station located in Hartford, Connecticut. The station is owned by Entravision Communications Corporation. The station's studios are located at Constitution Plaza in downtown Hartford, and its transmitter is located on Deercliff Road in Avon.

It largely simulcasts Boston's Univision affiliate, WUNI, and operates a semi-satellite in Springfield, Massachusetts, WHTX-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 43, which is also seen on WUVN's second digital subchannel (this service is also carried by Springfield-area cable systems). Both stations occasionally jointly refer to themselves as Univision Nueva Inglaterra or Univision New England.

WUVN is one of the oldest UHF stations in New England. It began operation on October 2, 1954, as WGTH-TV, a primary ABC–secondary DuMont affiliate. The station was initially owned by a partnership of The Hartford Times and General Teleradio, along with WGTH radio (1410 AM, now WPOP), but was sold to CBS in 1956, shortly after Hartford and New Haven were merged into a single market. The station's call letters were changed to WHCT, for "Hartford CBS Television" (or alternatively "Hartford, ConnecticuT", or "Hartford Christian Television" in its later years, according to some).
