The Anti-Masonic Enquirer (also known as the Antimasonic Enquirer and the Rochester Antimasonic Inquirer) was an American weekly newspaper associated with the Anti-Masonic Party.
The Anti-Masonic Enquirer was established in Rochester, New York in February 1828 by Thurlow Weed and Samuel Heron, as a successor to Heron's previous publication the Rochester Balance.

Sprague continuing as publisher until October 1831 when the newspaper was sold to Erastus Shepard.
