Giornale di Sicilia is an Italian daily national newspaper for the island of Sicily. It is based in Palermo, and is the best-selling newspaper in Sicily.

The paper played a significant role in nationalizing the Italian rural women in Sicily at the beginning of the 1900s.

It is published in ten different local versions, one for each province of Sicily plus another one for the city of Palermo.
