WEPN (1050 AM, "1050 ESPN New York") is a 24-hour sports talk formatted radio station in New York City featuring national and local sports talk programs and live broadcasts of sports matches. It is the New York affiliate for ESPN Radio. Its transmitter site is located in North Bergen, New Jersey.

It is the radio home for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association, the New York Jets of the National Football League, the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League, and select nationally broadcast Major League Baseball and NBA games. There is also a partnership with the Army's football team, but those games usually air on sister station WQEW, or on former sister station WABC because of scheduling conflicts.

The 1050 frequency had a long history prior to this format. Starting in the 1920s as WHN it played a diversified format, it was renamed WMGM in the late 1940s, the diversity continued until a switch to rock & roll in the late 1950s and early 1960s. As WHN again, it played adult standards in the 1960s and country music in the 1970s and 1980s (the format it was best known for). In the late 1980s as WFAN it was the original frequency for the very successful all-sports station. Then began a truly convoluted set of ownership, call letter, and format changes from the Spanish language WUKQ to WEVD, a low-rated brokered station in the 1990s, to today's incarnation as WEPN.
