KFMB (760 AM, "TalkRadio 760") is a conservative talk radio station in San Diego, California, co-owned with KFMB-FM and KFMB-TV.

KFMB-AM first greeted listeners on April 13, 1941, broadcasting from the corner of Pacific Highway and Ash Street, downtown. Owned by Warren B. Worchester and the Worchester Broadcasting Corporation, the "M" in KFMB was for Worchester's daughter Mary; the "B" for his son Warren Burnham.

Midwest Television Inc, headquartered in Champaign, Illinois, purchased KFMB-AM, FM, and TV in 1964.

From 1978 to 1999 it was the broadcast home for the San Diego Padres baseball franchise. From roughly 1975-1989, KFMB was one of the top three highest rated stations in San Diego, frequently fighting its FM sister, B-100, for the top position. From 1998 to 2004 it was the broadcast home of the San Diego Chargers football team. It has also been the San Diego affiliate of the CBS Radio Network.

The station is the San Diego home of Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Jerry Doyle and others.

Local programming includes only one daily San Diego talk radio show: Rick Roberts from 5 to 10 a.m. weekday mornings; News Anchor Marna Davis does the news every half hour. All other programs are rebroadcast from satellite.

In June 2005, KFMB became the San Diego broadcast home for Paul Harvey.
