WVBT (channel 43) is a television station licensed to Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States, affiliated with Fox and The CW. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, WVBT is sister to NBC affiliate WAVY-TV (channel 10) and the two stations share studios on Wavy Street in downtown Portsmouth. WVBT's transmitter is located near Driver in Suffolk.

Though the construction permit was awarded in 1985, WVBT began broadcasting in December 1992, initially with home shopping programming. In January 1995, it affiliated with The WB, converted to a general-entertainment schedule, and came under the operational control of WAVY-TV under a local marketing agreement. Later that year, it secured affiliation with Fox, effective August 31, 1998. On that date, the station began airing a 10 p.m. local newscast produced by WAVY-TV. Nexstar acquired WAVY and WVBT in 2017 as part of its purchase of Media General.
