The Star was a London evening newspaper founded in 1788, which ceased publication in 1960.
The first edition was printed on 3 May 1788 under the editorship of one Peter Stuart. Founding sponsors of the new paper included publisher John Murray and William Lane of the Minerva Press.
In 1960 it was merged with the Evening News, part of a takeover that also saw the UK daily News Chronicle incorporated into the Daily Mail.
