HuffPost (formerly The Huffington Post and sometimes abbreviated HuffPo) is an American journalism company that has both localized and international editions founded by Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, Jonah Peretti, and Andrew Breitbart, featuring columnists. The site offers news, satire, blogs, and original content and covers politics, business, entertainment, environment, technology, popular media, lifestyle, culture, comedy, healthy living, women's interests, and local news.

The Huffington Post was launched on May 9, 2005, as an overtly liberal-left commentary outlet and alternative to news aggregators such as the Drudge Report, and continues to maintain a politically liberal stance. On February 7, 2011, AOL acquired the mass marketHuffington Post for US$315 million, making Arianna Huffington editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group.

In July 2012, The Huffington Post was ranked No. 1 on the 15 Most Popular Political Sites list by eBizMBA Rank, which bases its list on each site's Alexa Global Traffic Rank and U.S. Traffic Rank from both Compete and Quantcast. In 2012, The Huffington Post became the first commercially run United States digital media enterprise to win a Pulitzer Prize.

The Huffington Post was founded by Arianna Huffington on May 9, 2005. It has an active community, with over one million comments made on the site each month.

Prior to The Huffington Post, Huffington hosted the website Ariannaonline.com. Her first foray into the Internet was the website Resignation.com, which called for the resignation of President Bill Clinton and was a rallying place for conservatives opposing Clinton.
