The Sun-Herald is an Australian newspaper published in tabloid or compact format on Sundays in Sydney by Nine Entertainment. It is the Sunday counterpart of The Sydney Morning Herald. In the six months to September 2005, The Sun-Herald had a circulation of 515,000. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, its circulation had dropped to 443,257 and to 313,477 , from which its management inferred a readership of 868,000. Readership continued to tumble to 264,434 by the end of 2013, and has half the circulation of rival The Sunday Telegraph.

Its predecessor broadsheet was known as The Sunday Herald and published in the years 1949 to 1953. In 1953, Fairfax Media bought The Sun, an afternoon paper, and merged its Sunday edition with the Sunday Herald to become the tabloid Sun-Herald.

The Brisbane edition of The Sun-Herald has content from the Brisbane Times.

On 23 May 2010, The Sun-Herald published its first section in 3D with included glasses, the first of its kind in Australia. The sections were sponsored by Harvey Norman and intended to promote the then-upcoming State of Origin rugby league series.
