WGVL, UHF analog channel 23, was a television station in Greenville, South Carolina, United States that existed from 1953 to 1956. The station was the first to operate in Greenville, but like many early UHF stations, the arrival of new stations on the VHF band imperiled its ability to secure programming and viewers. WGVL signed off the day that WSPA-TV signed on channel 7, having fought for years alongside fellow UHF station WAIM-TV in Anderson to prevent the television station from being built; the case lingered into 1960, well after the station ceased broadcasting.
