WENN (1320 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Birmingham, Alabama. It simulcasts the urban contemporary gospel radio format heard on co-owned WAGG. It is owned by SummitMedia, which also owns six other Birmingham stations, and all share studios and offices in the Cahaba neighborhood in southeast Birmingham, but is not related to the fictional radio WENN in the American Movie Classics sitcom Remember WENN, which ran from 1996 to 1998.

By day, WENN broadcasts at 5,000 watts. To avoid interfering with other stations on 1320 AM, it reduces power to 111 watts at night. The transmitter is in Hopper City on the city's northside.
