List of African American newspapers in Hawaii

This is a list of African American newspapers that have been published in Hawaii. From the 1980s to the 2000s, there was consistently at least one African American newspaper being published in Hawaii.

The history of the African American press in Hawaii is comparatively brief, starting only with the publication of the short-lived monthly newspaper Harambee in 1974. Records remained so sparse that the founders of the Afro-Hawaiian News in 1987 were unaware of the previous newspaper's existence. As a result, some historians have listed Hawaii among the states that have never had an African American newspaper.
