The Orange Leader is a morning newspaper published Wednesdays and Saturdays in Orange, Texas, covering Orange County. It is owned by Boone Newspapers.

Cox Enterprises bought the newspaper in 1985[2] from owner/publisher James B. Quigley, who had led the paper since 1937.[3]

In 1991, Cox sold the Leader, along with sister paper The Port Arthur News, to American Publishing Company, which in turn dealt them to Community Newspaper Holdings in 1999.[4] After cutting publication from seven days to three (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) in 2011[5] and later to two days, the pair was sold to Boone Newspapers Inc. in 2014.[1]
