The Edinburgh Evening News is a daily newspaper and website based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was founded by John Wilson (1844–1909) and first published in 1873.[1] It is printed daily, except on Sundays. It is owned by Johnston Press, which also owns The Scotsman.

Much of the content of the Evening News concerns local issues such as transport, health, the local council and crime in Edinburgh and the Lothians. The paper has a significant number of journalists covering sport, with a dedicated reporter assigned to each of the city's football teams, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian.

According to ABC figures for February 2014, the paper's circulation was 28,000,[2] down from 32,160 in the preceding February.[3] In 2016 this had dropped to 18,362 [4], falling again to 16,660 by February 2018[5].
