The Evening and Morning Star was an early Latter Day Saint periodical published monthly in Independence, Missouri from June 1832 to May 1833, and then in Kirtland, Ohio from June 1833 to September 1834.

The Evening and Morning Star was the first Latter Day Saint periodical. It was initially published in a printing office operated by W.W. Phelps in Independence, Missouri, until the office was destroyed by a mob on July 20, 1833. The mob also destroyed numerous uncompleted copies of the Book of Commandments.

After the Latter Day Saints were expelled from Missouri in late 1833, the publication was printed in Kirtland, Ohio in a shop owned by Frederick G. Williams. The editor in Kirtland was Oliver Cowdery. The publication was eventually succeeded by The Messenger and Advocate.
