WXFX (95.1 FM, "95.1 The Fox") is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Prattville, Alabama. The station, established in 1977 as WQIM, is currently owned by Cumulus Media and the broadcast license is held by Cumulus Licensing LLC. The WXFX studios are located on the 3rd floor of The Colonial Financial Center in downtown Montgomery, and the transmitter tower is in Montgomery's northeast side.

WXFX broadcasts a classic rock music format to the Montgomery, Alabama market. Notable on air personalities include Rick Hendrick and "The Big Show" with John Boy and Billy.

WXFX also broadcasts digitally in HD Radio with its own programming on the HD1 channel, a sports radio simulcast of WMSP on HD2, and a news/talk simulcast of WLWI on HD3.

This station received its original broadcast license from the Federal Communications Commission in August 1977, signing on with a Top 40 music format broadcast with 3,000 watts of effective radiated power on an assigned frequency of 95.3 megahertz. Owned by Hagler Broadcasting, the new station was assigned the WQIM call sign by the FCC.

In October 1981, license holder Hagler Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Downs Broadcasting, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on January 28, 1982, and the transaction was consummated on February 1, 1982. The new owners flipped the format to urban contemporary music and maintained it through the 1980s.
