KPDX (channel 49) is a television station licensed to Vancouver, Washington, United States, serving the Portland, Oregon, area as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. It is the only major commercial station in Portland that is licensed to the Washington side of the market.

KPDX is owned by Gray Television alongside Fox affiliate KPTV (channel 12). The two stations share studios on NW Greenbrier Parkway in Beaverton; KPDX's transmitter is located in the Sylvan-Highlands section of Portland. KPDX's signal is relayed in Central Oregon through translator station KUBN-LD (channel 9) in Bend, making the station available in about two-thirds of the state.

Since February 2018, KPDX has been branded as Fox 12 Plus, an extension of the branding used by KPTV.^[3]
