WAGT (channel 26) was an NBC-affiliated television station in Augusta, Georgia, United States, which operated from December 1968 until May 2017.

WAGT ceased operations as a result of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s 2017 spectrum incentive auction. Its intellectual property, programming and NBC affiliation moved to WAGT-CD, a low-power station which was purchased by Gray Television.
