KXNT (840 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to North Las Vegas, Nevada. It broadcasts a news-talk radio format and is owned and operated by Audacy, Inc. The studios are in the unincorporated Clark County community of Spring Valley, while KXNT's transmitter is on U.S. Route 93 at Great Valley Parkway in North Las Vegas.

KXNT is a Class B station operating on a clear channel frequency. WHAS in Louisville is the dominant Class A station on 840 AM, so KXNT must reduce its power at night to avoid interfering with WHAS's signal. KXNT operates with 50,000 watts by day and 25,000 watts at night, using a directional antenna with a four-tower array.

KXNT is licensed to broadcast in the HD radio format, but is not currently broadcasting in HD. KXNT is Southern Nevada's primary entry point station for the Emergency Alert System.
