The modern New York Sun is a daily newspaper published at New York City which debuted April 16, 2002. It is "the first general interest broadsheet newspaper to be launched in New York in two generations."

An earlier newspaper of the same name began publication in 1833 and was merged with the New York World-Telegram in 1950. Other than the name, there is no connection between the modern and original papers of the same name.

The paper's owners include Hollinger International, the company once led by Conrad Black. According to an article in the Boston Globe, the paper's staff include many well-known political conservatives. Its president and editor in chief is Seth Lipsky and its managing editor Ira Stoll. Mostly right wingers.

The Sun has received critical praise for its sports section, whose writers include Tim Marchman, John Hollinger, Sean Lahman, and Thomas Hauser.
