STV News is a Scottish news service produced by STV. The news department produces four regional services covering STV's two Channel 3 franchise areas of Northern and Central Scotland and a pan-regional service for STV2.

STV's news programmes are produced from studios in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen with reporters also based at newsrooms in Dundee and Inverness and political correspondents based at Holyrood and Westminster. Freelance correspondents and camera crews are based on the Orkney and Shetland Isles, Wick and Fort William with a permanent Western Isles correspondent based in Stornoway.

The company's international news programme, STV News Tonight, is produced in partnership with ITN. In addition to its daily bulletins and online services, STV News also produces some non-news programming including current affairs (Scotland Tonight), one-off feature specials and documentaries.

Three separate editions of STV News at Six air on STV Central (West and East) and STV North each weeknight at 6pm.

The main evening programmes are supplemented by shorter STV News bulletins seven days a week:

In the North, viewers in Tayside and north east Fife receive a separate 5-minute bulletin during the main STV News at Six each weeknight, presented and produced from STV's studios at Seabraes in Dundee and directed from a technical gallery in Aberdeen. While the Tayside bulletin is broadcast, viewers further north see more news from the north-east, Highlands and Islands, broadcast from the main studio in Aberdeen.

Previously in the Central region, viewers in the West and East areas received 5-minute bulletins within the main evening programme - STV News West covered the area from Tobermory to Falkirk, with the presenter based in the main studio in Glasgow. Meanwhile, STV News East covered the area from Anstruther to Dunbar and was presented and produced at STV's Edinburgh studios. The full-length separate STV News at Six programmes for the two areas were launched on Monday 23 May 2011.
