WOEN (1360 AM) is a radio station that is currently broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to Olean, New York, USA, the station serves the Olean area. The station is currently owned by Sound Communications, LLC, and carries programming from the Salem Radio Network.

The station was formerly known as WMNS until ca. 2000 when the station changed to its current calls. For most of the mid-2000s until the end of 2011, WOEN was the Olean affiliate of The Rush Limbaugh Show; that show moved to WVTT in 2012. Among other affiliations the station carried were with ABC Radio Networks' talk network, the CBS Radio Network, the WOR Radio Network, and Talk Radio Network. The station switched to the WGGO simulcast in September 2013 (at the time both carried adult standards/oldies formats); in 2016, both stations flipped to talk, this time with Salem providing the content. When WGGO flipped back to the adult standards/oldies by New Year's Day 2017, WOEN did not and went silent. WOEN returned to the air in March 2017 when WGGO's tower collapsed, knocking that station off the air for the foreseeable future.
