The Australian Financial Review (AFR) is an Australian compact daily newspaper with a focus on business, politics and economic affairs. The newspaper is based in Sydney, New South Wales, and has been published continuously since its founding in 1951. It is currently owned by Nine Entertainment. The AFR is published in tabloid format six times a week, and provides 24/7 coverage through its website and mobile app. In November 2019, the AFR reached 2.647 million Australians through both print and digital mediums according to Mumbrella.

The Australian Financial Review started as a print-only weekly newspaper in 1951, before changing to a bi-weekly in 1961, and a daily newspaper in 1963. The paper now publishes multiple magazines and a supplementary weekend paper, which was launched in 1995. In that same year, the AFR website was also released, which helped to expand its readership base across all media. The AFR, along with most of Fairfax Media, was purchased by Nine Entertainment in 2018.
