KNAT-TV (channel 23) is a religious television station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, owned and operated by the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The station's transmitter is located on Sandia Crest.

KNAT-TV formerly operated from a studio located on Coors Boulevard in northwestern Albuquerque. That facility was one of several closed by TBN in 2019 following the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s abolition of the "Main Studio Rule", which required full-service television stations like KNAT-TV to maintain facilities in or near their communities of license.^[2]
