Giornale di Sicilia is an Italian daily newspaper based in Palermo, Sicily. It is also the best-selling newspaper in Sicily[2].

It was founded in 1860, immediately following the expedition of the Thousand headed by Giuseppe Garibaldi; it was first published in June 7 under the name "Giornale officiale di Sicilia" (Official newspaper of Sicily), with Girolamo Ardizzone as its first editor-in-chief.

It is currently published in 10 different local versions, one for each province of Sicily plus another in the sole city of Palermo.
