The Acta Apostolicae Sedis (literally "Acts of the Apostolic See" in Latin) is a periodical that serves as the official gazette of the Holy See and of the Vatican City State. It is published nominally on a monthly basis even if it appears irregularly. It contains the principal public documents issued by the Pope, directly or through the departments of the Roman Curia and also lists of Roman appointments. It was begun in 1895, under the title of Acta Sanctae Sedis. Like its predecessor it is an organ of the Holy See to the extent that all documents printed in it are "authentic and official".

This newspaper was first published by Pope Saint Pius X on May 23, 1904.
