KXXV (channel 25) is a television station in Waco, Texas, United States, serving Central Texas as an affiliate of ABC. Owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, the station maintains studios on South New Road in Waco, and its transmitter is located near Moody, Texas. It operates a low-power semi-satellite, KRHD-CD (channel 40, branded as channel 15) in Bryan, with separate local news programming for the Brazos Valley.

KXXV began broadcasting on March 22, 1985, as an NBC affiliate under the local ownership of Central Texas Broadcasting Company. Before channel 25's arrival, the Waco–Temple–Bryan had been the largest market in the United States without full service from all three networks. It switched to ABC in December 1985 when NBC returned to rival KCEN-TV. It has successively been owned by Shamrock Broadcasting, Drewry Communications, Raycom Media, and Scripps. It has typically been a third-place station in local news coverage to its more established competitors.
