This is a list of African American newspapers that have been published in the state of Nebraska.

Most African American publishing has been concentrated in the city of Omaha, which was home to about half of the state's African American population in the 19th century, and 70-80% in the 20th century. Some have also been published in Lincoln, home to a much smaller African American community.

The state's first known African American newspaper was the short-lived Western Post of Hastings, founded in 1876. The first commercially successful newspapers were established in the 1890s. By far the most successful and longest-lived of Nebraska's African American newspapers has been the Omaha Star, which was founded in 1938 and continues in operation today.
