CFGN-FM is an FM radio station in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, broadcasting at 96.7 MHz. Originally launched as a repeater on August 7, 1971 at 1230 kHz, it opened its own studios in 1973. In 1996, it became a repeater of CFSX. The station is owned by Stingray Group.

CFGN carries the entire VOCM lineup except for a block of programming from CFCB on weekday mornings and for a six-hour block on Saturday mornings.

CFGN also has a repeater in St. Andrew's, CFCV-FM at 97.7 MHz.

On April 2, 2001, the sale of Humber Valley Broadcasting Co. Ltd. to Newcap Inc. was approved. This included CFGN and other radio stations such as:
