Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is an American newspaper, and the third largest newspaper in the state of Pennsylvania. Its publisher is Richard Mellon Scaife and is generally considered a conservative newspaper.

One of the most famous incidents for the paper was the Shove it incident in July 2004, during the American presidential campaign. The paper's editorial page had been carrying columns highly critical of Democratic candidate John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz.

At a July 26 speech at the Massachussetts State House, the Tribune-Review editorial page editor Colin McNickle had an exchange of words with Heinz, where she subsequently told him, "You're from the Tribune-Review -- understandable. You said something I didn't say. Now shove it." The comment received wide attention in the media.
