The Daily Star is a daily British tabloid newspaper. Its editor is Dawn Neesom. She was promoted to the post in December 2003 after the previous editor, Peter Hill, moved to become editor of the Daily Express. Previously she had been an executive on the paper in charge of the features department.

The Daily Star was first published on November 2, 1978, and was the first new national paper to be launched since the Daily Mirror in 1903. For many years it published Monday to Saturday but on September 15 2002 it expanded to bring out a Sunday edition, the Daily Star Sunday, which is edited by Gareth Morgan.

Daily Star Sunday executive Michael Booker is the youngest deputy editor on Fleet Street.

The Daily Star is published by Express Newspapers, which also publishes the Daily Express and Sunday Express. The group is owned by Richard Desmond's Northern and Shell company. The paper is best known for focussing on stories which largely revolve around celebrities, sport, and news and gossip about popular television programmes, such as soap operas and reality TV shows. The editorial stance of the Star's hard news articles is predominantly right wing, tackling such issues as asylum seekers and anti-social behaviour.

It features a photograph of a topless model on weekdays (in a similar vein to The Sun's Page 3 feature) and has "discovered" some well known models, most notably Rachel Ter Horst in 1993, and Lucy Pinder on a Bournemouth beach in Summer 2003. Such models as Cherry Dee and Michelle Marsh have also appeared on their page 3. These women are known in the paper as "Starbabes". The paper's glamour photographer is Jeany Savage. Recently a lot of front pages have been devoted to model Danielle Lloyd, of Celebrity Big Brother fame.

The paper includes columns by Dominik Diamond and Vanessa Feltz (which is also printed in the Daily Express), and a Forum page devoted to readers' text messages, which are apparently printed verbatim.
