WFXS-DT (channel 55) was a television station licensed to Wittenberg, Wisconsin, United States, which served north-central Wisconsin, including Wausau and Rhinelander. Owned by Davis Television, LLC, it was most recently affiliated with the Fox network. WFXS-DT's studios were located on North 3rd Street in Wausau, and its transmitter was located northeast of Nutterville in unincorporated Marathon County.

Channel 55 went on the air in 1999 and served as Wausau's Fox affiliate for 16 years; Fox programming had previously been shown on a secondary basis by ABC affiliate WAOW since 1994. It was shut down after Gray Television acquired its programming and facilities and moved them to WZAW-LD, a low-power station which Gray could own alongside CBS affiliate WSAW-TV.
