Sun Newspapers is a chain of 25 weekly newspapers serving 82 different communities in the Greater Cleveland and Akron, Ohio areas. While some cover portions of the city of Cleveland, most of its papers are focused on suburbs and exurbs in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lorain, Medina and Summit counties. Its main offices are in Valley View, with branches in Beachwood, Berea, Medina and North Olmsted.

While some of the papers in the chain date back, under previous ownership, to the early 20th century, the company was founded in its current form in 1969, as part of SunMedia, which also publishes weeklies in the Milwaukee suburbs. In 1998 it was sold to Advance Publications, part of the S.I. Newhouse media empire, which also publishes the Plain Dealer, the region's major daily. It is now the largest chain of paid weekly newspapers in the United States.
