The Lexington Herald-Leader is a newspaper owned by The McClatchy Company and based in the U.S. city of Lexington, Kentucky. According to the 1999 Editor & Publisher International Yearbook, the Herald-Leader's paid circulation is the second largest in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The newspaper has won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing and the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.

An independent review of Herald-Leader conducted by AllSides Managing Editor Henry A. Brechter (Center bias) in July 2022 noted a lack of political bias in the newspaper's news coverage, and a slight leftward lean in its opinion section.
