WFIL is the name of a radio station, and also the former name of a television station, serving the American city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Located at 560 on the AM dial, WFIL is immediately adjacent to New York City's WMCA (at 570), and interestingly, the two stations have extremely similar histories: Both, for example, maintained Call For Action telephone help lines, being among the first radio stations in the United States to do so. The telephone number of WFIL's Call For Action line was GReenwood 7-5312.

The station first went on the air in 1922, using the call letters of WFI, and shared its spot on the dial with WLIT, the latter station being owned by a local department store, Lit Brothers; a short time later the two stations merged and became known as WFIL. For many years thereafter, the station was operated by the Philadelphia Inquirer, and joined the ABC Radio Network.

Starting on September 18, 1966, WFIL began playing "Top 40" rock and roll — a genre it stuck with until switching to an "easy listening" format in 1977. In 1981 country music was tried, but this too proved unsuccessful, followed by a return to Top 40 rock commencing in 1983. The station switched to an "oldies" format in 1986, but went back to easy listening on May 11, 1989, this time also changing its call letters to WEAZ (effective June 19), then changing them again on May 26, 1993 to WBEB to match those of an FM station under the same ownership. The station was sold for $4 million in October of 1993 to Salem Communications (which had almost bought the station three years earlier for $6.5 million but backed out of the deal at the last minute) and on November 1, 1993 the station was renamed WPHY, with a religious format that is still in use today; the call letters reverted to WFIL on September 6, 1994.

In its rock and roll heyday, the station was known colloquially as "Famous 56" and employed the slogan "Rockin' In The Cradle of Liberty." Its large transmitter enabled its signal to be heard as far away as Staten Island, the southernmost borough of New York City.

WFIL is also the former name of Philadelphia's ABC network affiliate, broadcasting on Channel 6. Founded in 1947, its call letters were changed to WPVI (the "P" standing for Philadelphia and the "VI" denoting the Roman numeral for 6) in 1971 after the station had been purchased by Capital Cities Communications.
