KFFX-TV (channel 11) is a television station licensed to Pendleton, Oregon, United States, serving the Tri-Cities, Washington, as an affiliate of Fox and Telemundo. It is the only major commercial station in the Yakima–Tri-Cities market that is licensed in Oregon. Owned by Imagicomm Communications, KFFX-TV has studios on Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick, Washington, and its transmitter is located in the Umatilla National Forest east of Pendleton.

Like the other stations in this vast and mountainous area, KFFX-TV's transmitter is not strong enough to cover the entire market. While KFFX-TV serves the market's eastern portion, it operates KCYU-LD (channel 41) in Yakima as a low-power semi-satellite for the western portion. KCYU-LD simulcasts all Fox network and syndicated programming as provided by its parent, and the two stations share a website. However, KCYU-LD airs separate legal identifications and commercial inserts. On satellite, KFFX-TV is only available on DirecTV, while Dish Network carries KCYU-LD instead.
