KTXD-TV (channel 47) is a television station licensed to Greenville, Texas, United States, serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The station is owned by Cunningham Broadcasting, a partner company of Sinclair Broadcast Group. It carries programming from Merit Street Media on its primary channel, as well as three digital multicast television networks operated by Sinclair, and religious broadcaster SonLife Broadcasting Network. KTXD's studios are located on Inwood Road in Farmers Branch, and its transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas.

The station largely carried home shopping programming from 1994 until 2006, when it began broadcasting religious programming from the Promiseland network. Under the ownership of London Broadcasting, KTXD switched to an entertainment-based format, initially as an affiliate of MeTV, and later as an independent station carrying a mix of classic television series, syndicated programs, and local news and lifestyle programming. KTXD was not included in the sale of most of London Broadcasting's stations to Gannett, resulting in its sale to Cunningham in 2017. In March 2018, Cunningham then flipped KTXD's main channel to sports programming from Sinclair's Stadium network.
