The Seattle Star was a free, neighborhood newspaper in Seattle, Washington, United States, covering the south and central sections of the city. Founded in 2002 as the South Seattle Star,[1] it changed its name to the Seattle Star in 2004. It was published biweekly.[2]

With the May 18–31, 2005, issue, the Star merged with the Seattle Sun to form the Seattle Sun and Star. It printed its last issue on July 1, 2005.[1]

The Star was unusual for being a well-written neighborhood newspaper whose issues regularly featured investigative reporting.
