KCPT is a public television station in Kansas City, Missouri, serving the greater Kansas City metropolitan area as a PBS member station.

The station signed on for the first time as KCSD, owned by the Kansas City School District. The school district put the license on the market in 1971. A group of civic leaders formed "Public Television 19" and bought the license. The station relaunched in January 1972 as KCPT. That fall, it began broadcasting PBS shows in color for the first time.

From studios located in downtown Kansas City, KCPT produces local programs such as "Kansas City Week in Review", "Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations" and "Ruckus", a political affairs program. Newer programs include "TalkBack Live with Steve Rose" and "One on One with Victor Hogstrom". KCPT's studios were once home to KCTV, and KCTV's trademark transmission tower still rises above the building.
