Die Son (Afrikaans: "The Sun") is a mixed Afrikaans-language South African tabloid reporting sensational news essentially after the model of British tabloids.

It is the South African newspaper with the largest increase in readership in recent years.

The publishing house Naspers began to publish Die Son in 2003, after the large success of the English-language tabloid The Daily Sun in Western Cape, first under the title Kaapse Son ("Cape Sun").

In the first half-year (2005) the print run of the daily paper was estimated at 50 000; that on Fridays for the whole of South Africa averaged 220 000 copies.

The English-language edition and the mixed Afrikaans edition share most of the content (both news and advertisement), except minor differences such as that the English does not have the Page 3 girl feature.
