The Oregonian is a daily newspaper based in Portland, Oregon, United States, owned by Advance Publications. It is the oldest continuously published newspaper on the U.S. West Coast,[7] founded as a weekly by Thomas J. Dryer on December 4, 1850, and published daily since 1861. It is the largest newspaper in Oregon and the second largest in the Pacific Northwest by circulation. It is one of the few newspapers with a statewide focus in the United States.[7][8] The Sunday edition is published under the title The Sunday Oregonian. The regular edition was published under the title The Morning Oregonian from 1861 until 1937.[9]

The Oregonian received the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, the only gold medal annually awarded by the organization.[10] The paper's staff or individual writers have received seven other Pulitzer Prizes, most recently the award for Editorial Writing in 2014.[11]

In late 2013, home delivery has been reduced to Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday while retaining print copies daily through news stands/newsracks. In January 2024, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday print edition were discontinued.

Copies are sold at $2 daily and $4 Sundays plus Thanksgiving Day; may be higher outside Multnomah and adjacent counties/states.
