This is a list of newspapers in Italy, ordered according to category/scope and circulation.

The daily print newspapers in Italy were 107 in 1950, whereas there were 78 in 1965.[1] It has further declined since and 76 are listed in this article: 22 countrywide newspapers (including some "opinion" or "political" newspapers with very limited circulation, that are available only in Rome and few other places), 51 regional or local newspapers (some of which have a larger circulation than most countrywide ones) and 3 sports newspapers (all three having a much larger circulation on Mondays).[2] The total circulation (both in print and digital) of the 56 newspapers tracked by Accertamenti Diffusione Stampa (ADS) was 1,661,682 in January 2025, down from 2,292,549 for 57 newspapers in January 2020.[3][4] Corriere della Sera, based in Milan, has the largest circulation, above 200,000 copies, and more than 500,000 digital subscribers.[5] Corriere della Sera is distantly followed by La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore, Avvenire and La Stampa. The circulation of some leading "opinion" newspapers, including Il Foglio and Domani, is not tracked by ADS.

Political parties used to have their own newspapers, most of which have been either disbanded or transformed into online publications. They have included Avanti! (est. 1896, Italian Socialist Party), Il Popolo d'Italia (est. 1914, Italian Socialist Party / National Fascist Party), La Voce Repubblicana (est. 1921, Italian Republican Party), Il Popolo (est. 1923, Italian People's Party / Christian Democracy / Italian People's Party), L'Unità (est. 1924, Italian Communist Party / Democratic Party of the Left / Democrats of the Left / Democratic Party), L'Umanità (est. 1947, Italian Democratic Socialist Party), La Discussione (est. 1952, Christian Democracy), Secolo d'Italia (est. 1952, Italian Social Movement), Liberazione (est. 1991, Communist Refoundation Party), La Padania (est. 1997, Lega Nord) and Europa (est. 2003, Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy / Democratic Party).
