KLAX-TV (channel 31) is a television station in Alexandria, Louisiana, United States, affiliated with ABC and owned by Deltavision Media. The station's studios are located on England Drive/LA 498 in Alexandria, and its transmitter is located in the Kisatchie National Forest southwest of Dry Prong.

KLAX-TV began broadcasting on March 3, 1983, as an independent station. It was built by Cypress Communications, a local firm, and featured a local newscast from its launch until August 1984. The station became an ABC affiliate in September 1985; after failing to pay its bills, it filed for bankruptcy protection in 1987 and was sold to Pollack-Belz Communications in 1988. Pollack-Belz revived a news department, which continued until 2001, but the station could not pass established KALB-TV in the news ratings. A local newscast, this time with outsourced production, returned in 2007. Pollack/Belz sold the station to Northwest Broadcasting in 2018, the first of four sales of KLAX-TV within seven years.
