The Herald and Weekly Times Limited (HWT) is a newspaper publishing company based in Melbourne, Australia. It is owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

The HWT publishes the morning daily tabloid Herald Sun, which was created in 1990 from a merger of the company's morning tabloid paper, The Sun News-Pictorial, with its afternoon broadsheet paper, The Herald. These mastheads had been publishing as separate papers since 1840 (The Herald) and 1922 (The Sun News-Pictorial).

The HWT also publishes The Weekly Times, aimed at farmers and rural business.
