WSST-TV (channel 55) is a television station licensed to Cordele, Georgia, United States, serving as the MyNetworkTV affiliate for the Albany, Georgia, area. It is owned by Marquee Broadcasting alongside Valdosta-licensed CBS affiliate WSWG (channel 44); Marquee also operates Fox affiliate WFXL (channel 31) under joint sales and shared services agreements with Sinclair Broadcast Group. The three stations share offices on Slappey Boulevard in Albany; WSST-TV's transmitter is located in rural southwestern Crisp County.

The station's digital signal extends only about 50 miles (80 km) from Cordele; however, the station is carried on many cable providers in the region, including in Albany and Perry. Since April 22, 2019, in order to increase its over-the-air reach, WSST-TV's primary channel has been simulcast on WSWG's third digital subchannel.
