KXNT (840 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to North Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. It is owned and operated by Audacy, Inc. and carries a news/talk format. The radio studios are located in the unincorporated Clark County area of Spring Valley, while KXNT's transmitter is located on U.S. Route 93 at Great Valley Parkway in North Las Vegas.

KXNT is a Class B station operating on a clear channel frequency. WHAS at Louisville, Kentucky is the dominant Class A station on 840 AM, so KXNT must reduce its power at night to avoid interfering with WHAS's signal. KXNT operates at 50,000 watts by day and 25,000 watts at night. KXNT has been granted an FCC construction permit to move to the KXST transmitter site and decrease night power to 10,000 watts.

KXNT is licensed to broadcast in the HD radio format, but is not currently broadcasting in HD. KXNT is Southern Nevada's primary entry point station for the Emergency Alert System.
