Honi Soit is a student newspaper of the University of Sydney, produced by an elected editorial team as part of the activities of the Students' Representative Council (SRC). The name is short for the phrase "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (French: "shame upon him who thinks evil of it"), which is the motto of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.

Honi Soit is a tabloid-style publication incorporating a mixture of humorous and serious opinion articles. A typical issue contains a satirical cover story lampooning a topical current event or person, letters to the editor, campus news, and opinion and pop culture articles. Periodically, special editions are published, including Election Honi, devoted towards covering the relevant student elections, and Queer Honi, dedicated to covering LGBT issues.

Issues are published weekly during university semesters.

Editors are elected as a "ticket" of up to 10 students, elected each year in conjunction with the annual SRC elections. Past editors have included Clive James and Andrew Riemer.
