''The Inquirer & Commercial News'' was a newspaper published in Perth, Western Australia from 1855 to 1901. In May 1847 Edmund Stirling acquired ''The Inquirer'' from Francis Lochée, who established the paper in August 1840 together with William Tanner. Tanner disposed of his interest in the paper in June 1843. In July 1855, ''The Inquirer'' merged with ''The Commercial News and Shipping Gazette'', which was owned by Robert John Sholl, to form ''The Inquirer & Commercial News'', in the joint ownership of Sholl and Stirling. Stirling's eldest son John joined the paper around 1863 and operated the paper with his father when Sholl left. In 1878 Stirling's three other sons Horace, Frederick and Baldwin joined the paper, trading as Stirling & Sons. When Stirling retired his three sons took control of the paper as Stirling Bros. On 6 July 1886 it incorporated the ''Morning Herald''. On 17 February 1893 the paper changed format and became the ''Inquirer and Commercial News Illustrated'' until 28 December 1894, when it reverted to ''The Inquirer & Commercial News''. In the 1880s in the ''Daily News'' traced its history to the establishment of ''The Inquirer''.
