KESQ (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish music format. Licensed to Indio, California, USA. The station is currently simulcast of KUNA-FM 96.7 since 2011. KESQ was owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company and formerly rented by a Spanish religious radio network by La Iglesia Alfa Y Omega (the Alpha and Omega church) and briefly played Spanish-language Religious music.

The radio station itself began broadcasting in 1946 under the call letters "KREO" until 1984 when it reverted to Spanish language music with call letters "KUNA". The radio station was purchased by KESQ-TV in 1992 and changed formats to news/talk, but the station returned to KUNA-FM and the Spanish language music format in 1998, but switched formats in late 2004. Back to being under KUNA-FM but on the AM frequency, KESQ can be heard in Imperial Valley down to Mexicali on occasion, the Morongo Basin closer to Palm Springs, California and partially in the Inland Empire, California region.
