I Avgi ( Greek Η Αυγή "The Dawn") is a Greek daily newspaper published in Athens . It represents positions of the political left and is considered the “morning newspaper of the left”.

I Avgi was founded in 1952. It was originally an organ of the EDA (Association of the Democratic Left) . In the 1960s it reached print runs of over 60,000 copies. Their appearance was prohibited during the Greek military dictatorship (1967–1974). In 1975 it was published as an organ of the eurocommunist "KKE-Inland", later the Greek Left (E.AP.). At the end of the 1970s, it was the Athens daily with the lowest circulation. Today, although formally independent, she is considered the mouthpiece of the left-wing SYRIZA parties .

I Avgi is one of 15 nationally published daily newspapers (2012) with 2,800 copies sold daily.
