To Vima (Greek: Το ΒΗΜΑ; English translation: "The Tribune") is a Greek daily newspaper first published in 1922 by Dimitris Lambrakis, the father of Christos Lambrakis, current head of the company. It is owned by Lambrakis Press which also publishes the newspaper Ta Nea and many other publications. "To Vima" is a high profile newspaper in Greece, published daily except on Mondays, and its flagship is the Sunday edition, whose current managing editor is Stavros Psycharis.

The newspaper features as columnists prominent journalists within the Greek media, including Yiannis Pretenteris and Vassilis Moulopoulos. Some of the newspaper's regular columnists include academics, university professors (such as Konstantinos Tsoukalas, Nikos Mouzelis or Dimitris Psychogios who contributes under a nom-de-plume), political scientists and a number of politicians. The Sunday edition of the newspaper used to be a staple of Greek press, while today it competes both with the centre-left To Proto Thema and the more radical Eleftherotypia. "To Vima", by Greek standards, is considered left-of-center and is politically aligned with the Greek socialist party PASOK - indeed this also applies to all publications of Lambrakis Press. Some of its former editors have occupied to key ministerial positions with the left, such as Petros Efthimiou and Georgos Romeos. It is also not uncommon for some of its journalists to stand for parliament - again mostly with PASOK.
