WTWC-TV (channel 40) is a television station in Tallahassee, Florida, United States, affiliated with NBC and Fox. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside CW Plus affiliate WTLF (channel 24); Sinclair also provides certain services to Bainbridge, Georgia–licensed Heroes & Icons affiliate WTLH (channel 49) under a local marketing agreement (LMA) with New Age Media. The three stations share studios on Deerlake South in unincorporated Leon County, Florida, northwest of Bradfordville (with a Tallahassee postal address), and transmitter facilities in unincorporated Thomas County, Georgia, southeast of Metcalf, along the Florida state line.

WTWC-TV was the third commercial television station built in Tallahassee, debuting in April 1983. Technical and financial battles dominated its first 13 years on air, including a malfunction with the station's tower that contributed to a four-year-long bankruptcy proceeding in the 1990s. It has made two attempts at producing local newscasts, neither of which lasted more than a few years. It has not produced any longform newscasts at all since 2000. In 2015, the Fox affiliation moved from WTLH to a subchannel of WTWC-TV, still called "Fox 49". The Fox subchannel had newscasts produced by the region's CBS affiliate, WCTV, until they were discontinued in early 2026.
