The Tart was a free London-based satirical newspaper, and later an online webzine.

The precursor of The Tart was a Bristol University newspaper edited by Tobes Kelly in the first six months of 2007.

[3] The Tart's tone was satirical, and has been described as "tolerant, witty and parodying the folly of those in the public eye".

[6] After receiving a positive response from trial distributions to London commuters, the decision was taken to move out of the student market.

[9] The paper's income was affected by the economic downturn, and midway through 2008, The Tart decided to focus on an online webzine.
