KTUU-TV is an American local station in Anchorage, Alaska. Gray Television owns the station, which is an NBC affiliate operating on digital channel 10, displayed on tuners as virtual channel 2. Its sister station is CBS affiliate KAUU/channel 5.

Channel 2 signed on in 1953 as KFIA, changing to KENI in 1955 and finally to KTUU in 1981. It had been primarily an NBC station, sharing ABC until 1967 when it took ABC as primary. It reverted to NBC in 1971.

Gray Television bought KTUU from Schurz Communications and had owned CBS affiliate KTVA/channel 11 until that station went silent. Gray moved CBS to KYES/channel 5 (now KAUU) which they acquired under a "failing station" waiver so they could form a duopoly (channel 5 was previously My Network TV, which is now on its subchannel tier). The FCC plans to levy a $500,000 fine on Gray for violating a ban on owning two top stations in the Anchorage market.
