Latter-day Saints’ Millennial Star (usually shorted to Millennial Star) was the longest continuously published periodical of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, being printed from 1840 until 1970.

Latter Day Saint Apostle Parley P. Pratt was the publication's first editor, followed by Willard Richards, and thereafter it was usually edited or supervised by Mission Presidents of the European Mission, based in England.

During its 130-year history, the Millennial Star varied from being monthly, semi-monthly and even weekly, and was primarily aimed at British Latter-day Saints.

Due to the Priesthood Correlation Program of the Church that sought to encourage uniformity and extend control over printed materials, the Millennial Star was replaced by Ensign and the Church News in 1970.
