街头报纸是由街友或穷人贩售且主要用来支持其经济状况的报纸或杂志。大多数的街头报纸主要刊登无家可归者和贫穷议题的相关报导，且寻求强化无家可归者之间的社区网络。街头报纸致力于提供这些人工作机会以及发声的管道。除了由无家可归者贩售，许多报纸的部分内容也由他们写作和生产。

在19世纪末与20世纪初，有些慈善、宗教、劳工组织试着发行出版物，报导街友相关消息想借此吸引大众关注，但街头报纸却是在纽约市街头报社于****年成立后才逐渐普及。而现今，街头报纸已经于超过30个国家发行，其中最多是位于美国和西欧。他们的支持单位包括政府、慈善机构和联合机关如国际街报联盟和北美街报协会等。虽然目前已有发行了许多街头报纸，但其仍然面临众多挑战，包括资金短缺、员工的不可靠以及要引起大众兴趣、维持关注受众之困难等问题。

Street newspapers (or street papers) are newspapers or magazines sold by homeless or poor individuals and produced mainly to support these populations. Most such newspapers primarily provide coverage about homelessness and poverty-related issues, and seek to strengthen social networks within homeless communities. Street papers aim to give these individuals both employment opportunities and a voice in their community. In addition to being sold by homeless individuals, many of these papers are partially produced and written by them.
