The St. Catharines Standard is a daily newspaper of the city of St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

The St. Catharines Standard was started in 1891, by W. B. Burgoyne. The Standard, located in St. Catharines, Ontario, is the largest daily newspaper in Niagara. It has published continuously since 1891.

Its focus is local news, and it includes national and international news, sports, entertainment and lifestyle reporting. The newspaper is a consistent winner of Ontario Newspaper Awards, along with other newspaper industry awards.

It was later purchased by Southam Newspapers and then Canwest Global Communications.
