The "Tri-City Herald" is a daily newspaper based in Kennewick, Washington, in the United States. Owned by The McClatchy Company, the newspaper serves southeastern Washington, including the three communities of Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland (Tri-Cities). It was first known as the Pasco Herald. After being sold by the Williams family to Glenn C. Lee and Robert Philip, the paper moved from Pasco to Kennewick and became a daily in 1947, coining the name 'Tri-Cities' as part of the new daily's name. It serves Benton and Franklin counties in southeastern Washington as well as far south as Hermiston, Oregon.

In 1950, striking workers of the Herald launched a morning competitor, Columbia Basin News, in Pasco. From 1950 until the summer of 1963, the Tri-Cities was one of the smallest U.S. markets with two competing daily newspapers. The News folded in 1963.

The only major English-language newspaper in Washington east of Yakima and south of Spokane. The paper features local and national news, opinion columns, sports information, movie listings, comic strips, and other typical pieces of information.
