KCND-TV was a television station which broadcast from Pembina, North Dakota, United States from 1960 to 1975, targeting the Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada market some 60 miles (97 kilometres) to the north. It was the forerunner of current Global Television Network affiliate CKND-DT in Winnipeg, which remains in operation.

KCND was established by the Community Radio Corporation, the parent company of KNOX-TV and KNOX AM in Grand Forks, North Dakota, after being granted a construction permit by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in July 1958. The station's plans were publicly announced on March 13, 1959, and KCND signed on November 7, 1960 on channel 12. The station's studios and master control system were located in Pembina, with Canadian sales and production facilities being located at 2031 Portage Avenue in St. James, a suburb of Winnipeg.
