KTOP (1490 kHz) is an AM radio station serving the Topeka, Kansas, metropolitan area. The station currently broadcasts a sports format, but prior to October 4, 2007, had broadcast an adult standards/oldies format. KTOP is owned by Cumulus Media and licensed to Cumulus Licensing LLC. The transmitter and antenna are located in northern Topeka on NW Buchanan Street near the Kansas River.

KTOP went on the air in 1947 as the second radio station for the Topeka area. After years as a Top 40 station, it flipped to country music and then oldies. For most of the 1990s into the 2000s, it broadcast an adult standards format.
