Solarni Novini (Tengarian: Соларни Новини, Solarian: Solariani Nuntii, lit. "Solarian News"), sometimes simply called the Novini for short, is a Tengarian national daily newspaper, based in Lenovo. Over three centuries old, it is the oldest still printed newspaper in Tengaria. In addition, it has the highest readership and circulation out of any paper in Tengaria, and is considered as the country's leading newspaper.

The Novini is published in the broadsheet format, although it has had an online edition since 2002. It publishes six days a week, barring Sunday, having a combined issue for Saturday and Sunday. It is also notable for being published in Tengaria's native three languages, Tengarian, Armonian Savader and Calian, as well as having an international edition in Gaullican. Up to 1786, the newspaper was published in Solarian. Since 1877, it has been owned and managed by the Petarev family through their company Solarian Media.

It was initally founded by Emperor Ivan IV in 1715 as a print version of the handwritten announcements made to government ministers concerning important political and international developments. At first an irregular publication, it eventually grew to become one of the largest newspapers in the Empire of Tengaria, and was known for its right-wing and monarchist political views. During the Empire and Tengarian Republic, its main competitor and ideological rival was the more liberal and republican Lenovo Novini. It supported the All-Solarian Union, and throughout and following the Tengarian Civil War supported Simeon Kovachev and the Patriotic Union. Due to its alignment with the government, it became the primary newspaper in the country following the supression of most others.

Due to its national prominence and significance, it is considered by some to be Tengaria's newspaper of record, although its reputation is tained by association with the Kovachev regime and the Patritoic Union and right-wing political views. It has been criticised for promoting pro-government propaganda, and is also accused of having extensive media bias, including religious, coverage and gatekeeping bias. The newspaper ranks infavorably with several international watchdog groups.
