The Dartmouth Review is a conservative newspaper at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States. Founded in 1980 by a number of staffers from the College's daily newspaper, The Dartmouth, the paper is most famous for having spawned other politically conservative U.S. college newspapers that would come to include the Yale Free Press, Carolina Review, The Stanford Review, the Harvard Salient, The California Review, the Princeton Tory, and the Cornell Review. Past staffers have gone on to occupy positions in the Reagan, Bush, and Trump administrations, write for a number of publications, and author political books. Some of the most famous include Pulitzer Prize-winner Joseph Rago of The Wall Street Journal, Hugo Restall of The Wall Street Journal, James Panero of The New Criterion, author Dinesh D'Souza, talk-show host Laura Ingraham, and Hoover Institute research fellow Peter Robinson. Author, columnist, and former Nixon and Reagan speechwriter, Jeffrey Hart, was instrumental in The Reviews founding and served as a long-time board member and advisor. As of 2013, the paper has 10,000 off-campus subscribers, distributes a further 2,000 newspapers on campus, and claims 50,000 unique viewers per month on its website.

When Fossedal left The Daily Dartmouth, he took a number of the paper's younger staffers with him. In the years that followed, this group of writers would form the core of The Dartmouth Reviews early leadership and include some of the organization's most famous alumni. Among them were Benjamin Hart, Keeney Jones, Gordon Haff, and Dinesh D'Souza. Peter Robinson, who had graduated the previous spring and was then studying at Oxford University, became an early
