The Gateway is the student paper at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is published once a month in print during the academic year (September–April) and on a regular basis online throughout the calendar year by the Gateway Student Journalism Society (GSJS), a student-run, autonomous, apolitical not-for-profit organization, operated in accordance with the Societies Act of Alberta. The Gateway is one of the oldest student newspapers in Canada, founded in 1910. Its alumni include Don Iveson, the Mayor of Edmonton; Joe Clark, the former Prime Minister of Canada; Beverley McLachlin ,the former Chief Justice of Canada,]; clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson; and countless journalists across Canada and the world.

In 2002, the paper ran a successful referendum campaign for its autonomy and became an independent entity run by the Gateway Student Journalism Society (GSJS). In the period when the union was responsible for the paper, the University of Alberta had no editorial control over The Gateway, and by law the union was responsible for the production; the Universities Act of the Province of Alberta dictated that the student union was a corporate body separate from the university. While most of the day-to-day operations did not change with autonomy, a board of directors (BOD) took
