WDEF-TV is the call sign for the CBS affiliate in the Chattanooga, Tennessee market. It broadcasts on digital channel 12. Its analog 12 was shut off on February 17, 2009. WDEF's subcarrier, 12.2 is high definition.

WDEF has primarily been a CBS affiliate since its inception. It had secondary with DuMont (until it went dark in 1955), NBC (sharing with WROM/channel 9 to 1956, when WRGP/channel 3 signed on--now WRCB) and ABC (to 1958, when WROM moved to Chattanooga and changed its call to WTVC, the current ABC affiliate). They picked up secondary affiliation with UPN in 2004. It ended in 2006 after UPN and the WB (then on WFLI/channel 53) shut down and merged into the CW.
