KLFY-TV (channel 10) is a television station in Lafayette, Louisiana, United States, affiliated with CBS and an owned-and-operated station of The CW Plus as it is owned by CW’ majority owner Nexstar Media Group. The station's studios are located on Eraste Landry Road in Lafayette, and its transmitter is located in Maxie, north of Rayne.

KLFY-TV is notable as the oldest television station in the Lafayette area.

The station is also carried on cable and satellite providers in the Lake Charles metro area and Southwest Louisiana, where it previously served as the market's default CBS affiliate until February 15, 2017, when KSWL-LD signed on as the first CBS affiliate in the area since the sign-off of KTAG-TV in 1961,[3] as well as over-the-air in most of the Baton Rouge and Alexandria viewing areas. KLFY also served as one of two default CBS affiliates for the Alexandria market (along with KNOE-TV) of Monroe until local NBC affiliate KALB-TV launched a CBS affiliate on its subchannel in 2006. Until mid-2015, KLFY was carried on Suddenlink cable in Alexandria concurrently with CBS affiliate KALB-DT2.
