KFIV (1360 AM, "Power Talk 1360") is a commercial radio station licensed to Modesto, California, United States. Owned by iHeartMedia, it has a talk radio format as a partial simulcast with KALZ in Fresno and KRZR in Visalia. KFIV's studios and offices are on Lancey Drive in Modesto, while the transmitter is on Sylvan Avenue near Oakdale Road in Modesto.

Founded in 1950 as KMOD, the station became KFIV in 1957 and had a hit music format branded "K-5" for much of its early years. From 1989 to 1991, the station was KASH and had a business news format. KFIV returned to its present call sign in 1991 and began broadcasting a news/talk format around 1994. Clear Channel Communications, predecessor to iHeartMedia, bought KFIV in 2000.
