KXXV (channel 25) is a television station in Waco, Texas, United States, serving Central Texas as an affiliate of ABC. Owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, the station maintains studios on South New Road in Waco, and its transmitter is located near Moody, Texas. KXXV and co-owned KRHD-CD (channel 15) in Bryan split the market; KRHD-CD is a semi-satellite of KXXV with separate local news programming for the Brazos Valley.

Waco was the largest market in the United States without three network-affiliated TV stations until KXXV began broadcasting on March 22, 1985, under the local ownership of Central Texas Broadcasting Company. Briefly the NBC affiliate in the market, KXXV switched to ABC in December 1985 when NBC returned to rival KCEN-TV. It has successively been owned by Shamrock Broadcasting, Drewry Communications, Raycom Media, and Scripps. It has typically been a third-place station in local news coverage to its more established competitors.
