The Times-Union was a daily evening newspaper in the greater Rochester, New York, area for 79 years.

It was published as an afternoon daily counterpart to the morning Democrat and Chronicle under the ownership of Gannett when it ceased operations in 1997.

In that year the paper merged with the Democrat and Chronicle, with which it had shared a staff since 1992.

Ten years later Gannett purchased the 100-year-old Democrat and Chronicle, the paper with which the Times-Union ultimately merged in 1997.

The paper won a Pulitzer Prize for covering the 1971 Attica Prison riots.
