KHFM (95.5 FM) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and serving the Albuquerque metropolitan area. It airs a classical music radio format with some selections drawn from musical theatre. The studios and offices are located on Marble Avenue NE in Northeast Albuquerque. It is owned by KHFM Community Partners, a foundation set up by American General Media when the station switched from commercial to non-commercial. KHFM holds periodic fundraisers on the air during the year to support the station from listener donations.

KHFM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 19,000 watts.[3] The transmitter tower is in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, west of Los Alamos.[4] KHFM can also be heard via live streaming on its website and on three FM translator stations set up to extend its range.
