The Southport Visiter is a weekly paid-for print newspaper covering Southport, Merseyside, England. It was founded in 1844 as a single sheet listing visitors to the seaside town.[1] It is now owned by Reach Regionals, formerly Trinity Mirror,[2] and in 2018 it was announced that its website would merge with that of the Liverpool Echo, with the distinct printed product continuing.[3][4]

Former editors of the Southport Visiter included Alan Pinch and John Dempsey.[5]
