KCBS-TV (channel 2), branded CBS LA, is a television station in Los Angeles, California, United States. It is the West Coast flagship station of the CBS television network, owned and operated through its CBS News and Stations division. Under common ownership with independent station KCAL-TV (channel 9), the two outlets share studios at the Radford Studio Center on Radford Avenue in the Studio City section of Los Angeles; KCBS-TV's transmitter is located on the western side of Mount Wilson near Occidental Peak.

Aside from being affiliated with CBS News, since 2017, KCBS-TV has had no connection to KCBS radio (740 AM) in San Francisco. The 2017 sale to Entercom (now Audacy) of KCBS radio and KCBS-FM (93.1) in Los Angeles ended almost seven decades of co-ownership among the three stations under CBS.
