WBQH (1050 AM) is a radio broadcasting station in the Washington, D.C. region, licensed to Silver Spring, Maryland. It broadcasts a regional Mexican format. It is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting, and is leased to United Media Group LLC. WBQH programming is heard on FM translator W228DI (93.5), also in Silver Spring.

WBQH by day broadcasts with power of 10,000 watts; because 1050 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency reserved for XEG in Monterrey, at night to avoid interference WBQH reduces power to 44 watts.
