KRLN (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Canon City, Colorado, United States, it serves Fremont County, Colorado. The station is currently owned by Royal Gorge Broadcasting, LLC.

KRLN began broadcasting on September 24, 1947. For many years, KRLN signed off much earlier than other stations on the 1400 AM frequency, as a "Specified Hours" station. It wasn't until 1972 that KRLN was authorized for 24-hour operation.

Notable KRLN alumni include Gary Paxton, who went on to become a market-leading air personality in the burgeoning Pueblo, Colorado market. Former KRLN jock Jack Stevens went on to become a top-rated night jock on KYSN Colorado Springs. And Randy "Randy Jay" Saviano became well known at several Denver stations, including KDZA and KIMN.
