Thousands of United States newspapers have gone out of business. Some of the more notable ones are listed here, primarily major metropolitan dailies that have been published for 10 years or longer. (Some smaller papers, like those located in small towns, had a notable influence on their communities and may also be included.)
Newspapers are sorted by distribution and state and labeled with the city of publication if not evident from the name.
There are also lists of newspapers for each US state, each with a section on defunct newspapers in that state. These lists often include titles missing below.
