The Courier & Advertiser, more commonly known as simply The Courier, is a tabloid newspaper published by D. C. Thomson & Co. in Dundee, Scotland.[2] As of 2013, it is printed in six regional editions: Dundee, Angus & The Mearns, Fife, West Fife, Perthshire, and Stirlingshire.[3]

Established in 1801[2] as the Dundee Courier & Argus, the entire front page of The Courier used to contain classified advertisements – a traditional newspaper format for many years. The Courier was unusual in maintaining this format until 1992, when it adopted a conventional headline-news format.[3] The next major change to the newspaper came on 21 January 2012, when it changed to a tabloid format, having previously existed as a broadsheet. Editor Richard Neville said the move represented the "dawn of a new era" and that the company was "investing in new sections, increasing content across the title and investing significantly in resources".[4] Just over a year later, a digital version of the newspaper was launched.
