The Eagle was a Labor newspaper published in Charters Towers from 1893-1906. In Experiences in Early Australian Journalism, Stefan von Kotze describes it as 'A red socialistic weekly'. It retained close ties with the Brisbane Worker by re-printing numerous leaders from this paper. The Eagle focused on many Labor political issues including the need for education for workers.

In September 1899, The Eagle was ordered to pay £500 libel damages to John Hoolan, publisher of The Croydon Mining News and The Mundic Miner. Barricading themselves inside their offices, the proprietors swore to keep publishing, but were forced to cease on 16 September. Sold at auction two days later, the plant was re-purchased by the proprietors of The Eagle who immediately established The New Eagle without missing a Saturday issue.
