The Houston Press is an alternative weekly newspaper published in Houston, Texas. The paper is supported entirely by advertising revenue and is free to readers. The newspaper's website claims a weekly readership of more than 300,000.[2] The Press can be found in restaurants, coffee houses, and local retail stores. New weekly editions are distributed on Thursdays.

The Houston Press is one of the few alternatives to the mainstream Houston Chronicle.

Despite the Houston Press' noted progressive views, it has garnered attention from conservative readers unsatisfied with Houston's only daily newspaper, Houston Chronicle. The Houston Press took some knocks for the dismissal of longtime political reporter Tim Fleck (now an editorial writer at the Houston Chronicle).

The Houston Press is not to be confused with the newspaper of the same name that closed in 1964.
