The '''''Chicago Eagle''''' <ref>{{cite book|title=Story of Chicago in Connection with the Printing Business|url=https://archive.org/details/storychicagoinc00chicgoog|year=1912|publisher=Regan Printing House|pages=[https://archive.org/details/storychicagoinc00chicgoog/page/n159 155]}}</ref> was a newspaper from [Chicago, Illinois](/source/Chicago%2C_Illinois), founded by publisher/editor [Henry Donovan](/source/Henry_Donovan). The newspaper was originally published weekly on Saturdays, but changed its frequency to monthly in September 1944.

The ''Chicago Eagle'' lived up to the slogan printed under its [masthead](/source/Masthead_(American_publishing)): "Independent in all things, neutral in none."<ref>{{cite web|title=Chicago Eagle|url=http://idnc.library.illinois.edu/cgi-bin/illinois?a=d&d=CHE19200925&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------|website=Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections|publisher=Chicago Eagle|accessdate=20 October 2014|date=September 25, 1920}}</ref> Its publisher's concerns and interests lay more in the day-to-day lives of his readers than cultivating political friendships: "Donovan campaigned relentlessly against graft and corruption in local and state government, with a particular emphasis on working conditions in the department stores; the [meat-packing industry](/source/meat-packing_industry); the emerging telecommunications monopoly; election fraud; bribery of public officials; and public safety issues."<ref>{{cite web|title=About Chicago eagle.|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84025828/|website=Chronicling America|publisher=Library of Congress|accessdate=20 October 2014}}</ref>

It is not known when the ''Chicago Eagle'' ceased publication, but the latest known issue is dated November 1946.
