KYUS-TV (channel 3) is a television station in Miles City, Montana, United States, broadcasting to eastern Montana from a transmitter northwest of the city. It operates as a full-time satellite of KULR-TV in Billings. The station is separately owned from KULR-TV by The Marks Group, which also owns several radio stations in Montana and KXGN-TV in Glendive, but the Cowles Company brokers all of its airtime.

At one point known as the smallest network affiliate in the country, KYUS has largely served as a satellite of other stations since 1984 and has simulcast KULR-TV since 1998.
