Alaska Dispatch was a news organization founded in 2008 and based in Anchorage, Alaska. It was originally an online news outlet focusing on statewide coverage of the U.S. state of Alaska, and on circumpolar affairs and policy.[1]

In 2014, the organization purchased the Anchorage Daily News from McClatchy Newspapers, merging the two news operations[1] under the masthead Alaska Dispatch News.[2] In 2017, the combined news organization declared bankruptcy and was sold to Binkley Group; the newspaper reverted to its previous name.
