The San Francisco Foghorn is the official student newspaper at the University of San Francisco.

Simply known as the Foghorn, it has been continuously running weekly issues since 1903, making it one of the oldest collegiate newspapers on the West Coast. As of 2004 it was ranked 14th in collegiate newspapers in the nation by The Princeton Review.

Among the notable USF alumni that wrote for the Foghorn include Pierre Salinger, former press secretary under President John F. Kennedy; Warren Hinckle, publisher of Ramparts Magazine; cartoonist Dan O'Neill; and Kevin Starr, author, professor and California state librarian emeritus.

The Foghorn has a weekly run with a readership of 5000 and is distributed free on campus.
