WFPL is a 24-hour listener-supported, noncommercial radio station in Louisville, Kentucky, broadcasting at 89.3 MHz. The station is the NPR affiliate for the Louisville market. WFPL was once owned by the Louisville Free Public Library. When the station came on the air in 1950, it was the first library-owned radio station in the country and was made possible by the donation of equipment by the Bingham family, who owned The Courier-Journal and WHAS radio at the time.

WFPL, along with its sister stations WFPK and WUOL, broadcasts an HD radio signal.
