KXLT-TV (channel 47) is a television station in Rochester, Minnesota, United States, serving as the Fox affiliate for Southeast Minnesota and Northern Iowa. It is owned by Gray Media alongside NBC/CW+ affiliate KTTC (channel 10). The two stations share studios in Rochester on Bandel Road Northwest along US 52. KXLT-TV's transmitter is located in Grand Meadow Township, Minnesota, with a translator in Mason City, Iowa.

Channel 47 was originally a satellite station of KXLI in St. Cloud, Minnesota, a regional independent station, and later an outlet for the Star Television Network, home shopping, and infomercials. Shockley Communications purchased KXLT in 1997 and relaunched it as a Fox affiliate for southern Minnesota. KTTC assumed KXLT's operations in 2001 when the remainder of Shockley was acquired by Quincy Media, adding a local newscast to channel 47's schedule, with KXLT remaining under separate ownership until 2025.
