KORL (1180 AM) was an American radio station located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The station's broadcast license was held by James L. Primm. This was the third station in Honolulu to carry the KORL call sign, whose previous homes were at 650 and 690 AM respectively.

Long a Japanese-language station as KOHO, financial troubles silenced it after more than 33 years in 1993. It would spend 20 more years cycling through owners, call signs, and formats before last broadcasting in 2013. The license was cancelled in 2015 after the station was off the air for more than a year.
