The Vermont Cynic, also known as The Cynic, is the multi award-winning, editorially independent student newspaper of the University of Vermont (UVM). Founded in 1883, The Cynic was published in print for most of its history before fully transitioning to digital in 2022.

The Cynic would distribute print copies weekly to various campus locations when it was published in print. In November 2020, it paused publication of print issues, citing low readership due to COVID-19, and resumed traditional print publication beginning in December 2021 before finally discontinuing it in September 2022. In December 2024, the paper established a bi-yearly printing schedule, establishing a yearly December "Sex Issue" and April "Drug Issue."
