The Phoenix Gazette was a newspaper published in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. It was founded in 1881, and was known in its early years as the Phoenix Evening Gazette. In 1889, it was purchased by Samuel F. Webb, who at the time was a member of the 15th Arizona Territorial Legislature, as the Councilor from Maricopa County, the upper house of the legislature. In 1930 it was purchased by Charles Stauffer and W. Wesley Knorpp, the owner of its one-time rival The Arizona Republic. Both papers were subsequently acquired by Eugene C. Pulliam, in 1946.
