"The Gargoyle" is the student newspaper of University College at the University of Toronto. It was named after the phallic statue in the college building. Students rub this for good luck before tests.Fact|date=July 2007

"The Gargoyle" was established in 1954 as the first regularly appearing student newspaper at University College. Except for a hiatus between 1973 and 1977 it has published continuously since 1954.

"The Gargoyle" is staffed by an editorial collective of undergraduate students, as well as a group of staff and regular contributors.

"The Gargoyle" has taken many formats over the years. Formerly self-described as a "Knee Jerk, Left Wing, Reactionary Rag," it currently calls itself a "fortnightly rag" and contains University College news, political opinion, satire, music and show reviews, and original cartoons and often times adult entertainment. "The Gargoyle" accepts contributions from all University of Toronto students, although the majority of contributors are from University College.

"The Gargoyle" is notable for its somewhat archaic production style. As opposed to most contemporary publications (whose production is almost entirely digital), "The Gargoyle" is laid out by hand, forsaking "desktop publishing" applications for scissors and glue. Issues are assembled on cardboard "flats", which are then physically transported to the printer.
