The Auburn Plainsman is an award-winning student newspaper affiliated with Auburn University, based in Auburn, Alabama. It produces a weekly print edition and daily online coverage with editorial and business operations run by university students, and the publication is distributed free on campus each Thursday.

The newsroom operates as an editorially independent outlet, with student editors and managers determining content without interference from faculty or administration. It serves Auburn University’s students, staff and administrators as the primary source of news and information, and also functions as a learning laboratory for journalism, marketing, graphic design and photography. It emphasizes high standards of journalism and a commitment to adapting to changing technology in its production environment; a recent development noted in August 2023 was coverage of the Cambridge Hall closure announced by the university.
