The Montreal Star was an English-language Canadian newspaper published in Montreal, Quebec. It folded in 1979 after an eight-month pressmen's strike. The paper was founded on January 16, 1869 by Hugh Graham and George T. Lanigan as the Montreal Evening Star. In 1925, Graham sold the Montreal Star to John Wilson McConnell. Two other newspapers, the Montreal Standard ^[1] and Family Herald, were under the same ownership. After McConnell's death, the Montreal Star was acquired by the FP newspaper group, which also owned The Globe and Mail and the Winnipeg Free Press.

After the Montreal Star folded, its main competitor, the Gazette, acquired the Montreal Star's building and presses.
