The Valley News is a six-day morning daily newspaper based in Lebanon, New Hampshire, covering the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont, in the United States.

The newspaper covers communities on both sides of the Connecticut River, which forms the state line.[1] The paper's circulation is 16,522.[2][3] The current editor is Matt Clary.[4]

The paper was founded in 1952 by Allan Churchill Butler.[5] Shortly thereafter he sold the paper to James D.

At the time, Jeffrey Good was the Valley News' editor.[8]

Newspapers of New England, a private company based in Concord, New Hampshire, bought the Valley News in 1981 and has owned it since.[9]

Until the end of 2023, the Valley News was published seven days a week. The Sunday Valley News was last published December 31, 2023. Starting on January 6, 2023, a Weekend edition was published on Saturday.
