The Sault Star is a Canadian broadsheet daily newspaper based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. It is owned by Postmedia.

The print edition of Star publishes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and is delivered within the Sault Ste. Marie area and Algoma District.

Regular daily news coverage is provided through the paper's website.

In 2015 - the last year that Newspapers Canada reported on circulation data - the paper had a daily paid circulation of 7,577 weekdays and 7,763 on Saturdays. Its total circulation including print and digital was 7,850 on weekdays and 8,469 on Saturdays.

The Sault Star was founded in 1901 by two brothers, John Edward Gardiner (Jack) Curran and James W. Curran who purchased the Sault Courier, which had begun publishing around 1895, from lawyer Moses McFadden and his brother Uriah. James Curran had already established a career in the newspaper industry when he arrived in the city in July 1901, having been city editor of the Toronto Empire and news editor of the Montreal Herald.

The Currans published the first edition of a weekly paper, The Sault Weekly Star, on August 31, 1901, from a small frame building on East Street in the city's downtown using a hand-operated flat-bed printing press that had earlier printed one of Winnipeg's first newspapers. The weekly was published and distributed on Thursdays.

The first edition of the Sault Daily Star was published on March 16, 1912, and sold for two cents a copy with a total circulation of fewer than 2,000. The new paper promised readers more current news than they might read in Toronto-based papers delivered by rail. Relying on a special wire run and operated by the CPR Telegraph Company, the Currans boasted that "The Sault Daily Star will give the news just one day ahead of the Toronto papers. It will print Monday's news on Monday and deliver the paper to all of Algoma on Monday."

Among the first stories covered by the new daily in 1912 was the news that Sault Ste. Marie would be incorporated as a city later that year.
