The Lufkin Daily News is a newspaper that serves the city of Lufkin, Texas, United States. The newspaper was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for Public Service for an obituary of a local man who died in Marine training camp, which grew into an investigation of that death and a fundamental reform in the recruiting and training practices of the United States Marine Corps.

The Lufkin Daily News was started in 1907 and has served the Pineywoods of East Texas ever since.
