KZQZ was a commercial radio station that was licensed to serve St. Louis, Missouri, United States, at 1430 AM, and broadcast from 1922 to 2020. KZQZ's transmitter was located in Dupo, Illinois.

As WEB it was one of the first radio stations to have been established and licensed in the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area, and was known for most of its life as WIL. The Federal Communications Commission revoked the license for the station and its three co-owned stations in March 2020 after discovering that a convicted felon had effective control of the stations in their last years; despite the revocation, KZQZ and KQQZ continued to broadcast without a valid license into April 2020.
