WJMO (1300 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Cleveland, Ohio, United States, and airs a Spanish-language variety format known as "La Mega 1300". Owned by Urban One and operated by La Mega Media Inc., the station serves Greater Cleveland and much of Northeast Ohio. WJMO's studios are located in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood while the station transmitter resides in the Cleveland suburb of Parma. In addition to a standard analog transmission, the station streams online.

This station was established in 1950 as WERE, initially owned by former Cleveland mayor-turned-broadcaster Ray T. Miller. The WJMO call sign and urban gospel format were adopted in 2007 after an intellectual property swap between it and 1490 AM in Cleveland Heights. Since November 1, 2024, La Mega Media has operated the station.
