KVTV (channel 13) was a television station in Laredo, Texas, United States, affiliated with CBS. The station was owned by Eagle Creek Broadcasting.

On July 1, 2015, Gray Television, owner of NBC affiliate KGNS-TV, bought the non-license assets of KVTV and established KYLX-LP, to which it moved all of KVTV's program streams.
