WBAP (820 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Fort Worth, Texas, United States, and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Owned by Cumulus Media, it features a talk radio format in simulcast with WBAP-FM (93.3) in Haltom City, and broadcasts with 50,000 watts from a transmitter site in the northwest corner of Mansfield.

WBAP is a Class A clear-channel station, using a non-directional antenna, and is one of two clear-channel stations in the Metroplex along with Dallas-based KRLD. Its nighttime signal can often be heard throughout the Southern, Central, and Midwestern states and Northern Mexico, while its daytime signal provides at least secondary coverage from Oklahoma City to Austin. WBAP is one of the oldest radio stations in Texas, dating back to 1922, when stations in Texas were still given call signs beginning with "W" instead of "K".
