The Boulder Daily Camera is a broadsheet, home-delivered newspaper covering news in the city of Boulder and Boulder County, Colorado. Founded in 1890 by Bert Ball and Fred Johnson, the Camera has long been the leading newspaper in Boulder County.

(now Prairie Mountain Media), which owns the Camera, Colorado Daily, Broomfield Enterprise, Akron News Reporter, Brush News-Tribune, Burlington Record, Estes Park Trail Gazette, Fort Morgan Times, Julesburg Advocate, Lamar Ledger and Sterling Journal-Advocate. In August 2009, MediaNews Group became the sole owner of this newspaper group. MediaNews Group was acquired by Alden Global Capital in 2010.
