The Dayton City Paper is an alternative newspaper published weekly in Dayton, Ohio. The paper was originally founded in the 1990s under the name The Dayton Voice. In the early 2000s, the paper's name was changed to Impact Weekly due to the pressure of a lawsuit from the nationally known newspaper, The Village Voice. In the mid 2000s, the paper's name was changed once again to the current moniker.

Like many similar papers across the country, the Dayton City Paper focuses on film, music, restaurant, book, and arts reviews, as well as including a rotating roster of syndicated columnists and cartoonists including Amy Alkon, Tom Tomorrow, Ted Rall, and Rob Breszny. The rest of the content is rounded out by local staff and freelance columnists covering visual and performing arts reviews, the local music scene, film reviews, book signings, television, and popular culture. There is also a regular editorial feature involving debate on a political issue featuring viewpoints from both conservative and liberal writers.
