Le Soleil (The Sun) is a French-language daily newspaper in Quebec City, Quebec. It was founded on December 28, 1896, and is published in compact format since April 2006 (it had traditionally been printed in broadsheet). It is distributed mainly in Quebec City; however, it is also for sale at newsstands in Ottawa, Montreal, New Brunswick and some places in Florida, where many Quebecers spend the winter. It is owned by Groupe Capitales Médias.

On weekdays Le Soleil contains four sections: the front section (Actualités), containing local and international news coverage; the Arts & Life, or "B" section (Arts & Vie); the Business, or "C" section (Économie); and the Sports, or "S" section.
