The Green 'Un ("Green One" in slang) is a Saturday sports paper published, on Saturday evenings, in Sheffield, England, its name deriving from the light green newsprint on which it has traditionally been printed.

The title became Green 'Un, after the war, on 31 August 1946 and continued so until 23 November 1946, after which it formally assumed Star Green 'Un (30 November 1946), still its current title (2007).

Along with its sister publications The Star and Sheffield Telegraph, the Green 'Un is published by Johnston Press PLC.

The last print edition of the newspaper was published on 15 July 2013. Publisher of the Green 'Un, Johnston Press announced the newspaper was moving to a purely online platform.[2]
