The Asheville Daily Planet is a free, independent alternative newspaper published in Asheville, North Carolina. It was named after the fictional Daily Planet newspaper in the Superman universe.^[1]

In spite of its name, it is not, and never has been, a daily paper. It began publishing as a weekly on December 1, 2004. Due to economic conditions, it began publishing monthly in July 2008.^[2]
