WDWD (590 AM; "Faith Talk 590") is a Christian radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and it airs a brokered Christian talk and teaching radio format. The studios are in Buckhead Center on Peachtree Road NW (U.S. Route 19).

WDWD's radio transmitter site is off Sanders Road in Austell, Georgia, near Noses Creek. The station uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array, aimed towards Atlanta and avoiding interference with WWLX in Loretto, Tennessee. In 2009, the station upgraded its daytime power from 5,000 to 12,000 watts, while the nighttime power remains at 4,500 watts. Also in 2009, the station started broadcasting in the AM HD Radio (hybrid digital) mode (which has been unavailable since 2013).
