The Arizona Daily Star is the major morning daily newspaper that serves Tucson and surrounding districts of southern Arizona in the United States. The newspaper was sold in 2005 by Pulitzer, Inc. to Lee Enterprises.

The Star was in a joint operating agreement with the Tucson Citizen, a smaller paper owned by Gannett, until that paper became online only. The two newspapers, under TNI Partners, shared business and production operations but maintained separate newsrooms and editorial staffs.

In 1981, Star reporters Clark Hallas and Robert B. Lowe won a Pulitzer Prize for their stories about recruiting violations by University of Arizona football coach Tony Mason.
