The Southern Highland News is a newspaper published in Bowral, New South Wales, Australia since 1958. Launched by Stan Lord to compete with the other newspapers in the region.
It has incorporated a number of other newspapers including The Southern Mail, The Robertson Mail, The Moss Vale Mail, The Mittagong Mail and The Mittagong Star.

By 1960 Lord had sold his newspaper interests to his nephew, Colin Lord. In 1960, the proprietor of the four Mails, Hector Spence Lamond, sold them to Lord. At this point Lord incorporated The Mittagong Star, which he already owned, into The Mittagong Mail. The four Mails were then incorporated into the Southern Highland News in 1961.

The Southern Highland News is currently published by Fairfax Regional Media.
