CKLT is a Canadian television station, broadcasting in Saint John, New Brunswick. It is an affiliate of CTV Television Network, through the CTV Atlantic regional system in the Canadian Maritimes.

Although separately licenced, the station is considered a semi-satellite of CKCW-TV in Moncton. Its programming is the same as that of CTV Atlantic flagship CJCH-TV in Halifax, except for news and commercials. CKLT is also the CTV Atlantic station carried by Bell ExpressVu.

CKLT signed on for the first time on September 21, 1969, owned by Moncton Broadcasting along with CKCW-TV. As part of a complex realignment of television affiliations in the Maritimes, Saint John's original station, CHSJ-TV (now CBAT-TV) set up a translator in Moncton, enabling CKCW-TV to switch to CTV. CHUM Limited bought CKCW-TV and CKLT in 1972 and merged them into the Atlantic Television System (ATV) later that year. Along with the rest of the ATV stations, it was sold to Baton Broadcasting in 1997, enabling Baton to take control of CTV.

The station also has rebroadcast transmitters in Woodstock and Boiestown.
