The Vindicator, also known at times as the Youngstown Vindicator, is a daily newspaper serving Youngstown, Ohio, United States and the Mahoning County region as well as southern Trumbull County and northern Columbiana County. The Vindicator was established in 1869. It is owned by the Maag family (longtime area residents) and is run by the Vindicator Printing Company, which also runs local NBC affiliate WFMJ-TV and WFMJ's digital subchannel, CW affiliate WBCB.

Its primary competitor is the Tribune Chronicle in nearby Warren, Ohio, though their news has more of a slant towards the Trumbull County and parts of northeastern Portage County areas as opposed to the more broad Vindicator.

Monday through Saturday, the newspaper publishes three sections:

Each Wednesday, The Vindicator publishes a page entitled "Connected" which includes curated, Youngstown-themed social media posts and a column written by social media researcher Adam Earnheardt. Each Thursday, The Vindicator prints Vibe, a tabloid style entertainment guide for the coming weekend. On Saturdays, a TV listings magazine is included. The Sunday edition is, like most other newspapers, greatly expanded. In addition to the sections mentioned, there is also sections dedicated to business, entertainment, life and work, and health, among others.

The Youngstown Vindicator began in 1869.

It is notable for the first recorded advertisement for the Klondike bar (February 5, 1922).
