CKPC (1380 kHz) was a commercial AM radio station in Brantford, Ontario. Owned by Evanov Communications, the station was first established in 1923 in Preston, Ontario, as one of Canada's earliest radio stations.

The station broadcast various formats, ranging from full service, to adult contemporary and oldies formats. From 2020 to its closure in 2023, the station operated under a Christian radio format, which it had assumed from sister station CFWC-FM in exchange for its country music format.
