The Washington Star, also known as the Washington Star-News and the Washington Evening Star, was a daily afternoon newspaper published in Washington, D.C., between 1852 and 1981. The Sunday edition was known as the Sunday Star.> The paper was renamed several times before becoming Washington Star by the late 1970s.

On August 7, 1981, after 128 years, The Washington Star stopped publication and filed for bankruptcy. Many of the people who worked for the Star went to work for the newly formed Washington Times.[1]
