The Northern Star is a daily newspaper serving Lismore, New South Wales, Australia.

In 1955, building started on the media centre in Goonellabah, and in 1957 the move was made from the Molesworth Street office.

In 1981, The Northern Star commissioned a seven-unit Goss Urbanite Web Offset press capable of printing 20,000 56-page copies — 1.12 million pages — per hour.

The newspaper was owned by Northern Star Holdings, which in the 1980s became an associate of Frank Lowy's Westfield Capital Corporation until 1988 when Lowy decided to sell the company's northern New South Wales newspapers to instead focus on its newly purchased Ten Network television assets.
