KFQX is a television station in Grand Junction, Colorado, broadcasting locally on VHF channel 4 and digitally on Channel 15 as an affiliate of Fox. Founded February 10, 1993, the station is owned by Parker Broadcasting.

KFQX is operated under a LMA by Hoak Media, which also owns co-located KREX-TV.

For its first few years, KFQX offered delayed rebroadcasts of KREX's newscasts. In 2005, the station began simulcasting news programming from Fox owned-and-operated KDVR in Denver. Today, the simulcasts include a four-hour morning newscast and a nightly primetime news hour from 9 to 10pm.

The KFQX signal is relayed to other parts of Western and Northwestern Colorado via five analog and two digital translator stations, including KXHD-LP Channel 36 in Montrose.
