The Falls Church Echo was a weekly newspaper that served the city of Falls Church, Virginia, United States, from 1940 to 1955. It was founded by John W. White, a former editor of the Fairfax Herald, and his wife, Mary. The Echo covered local news, events, politics, sports, and culture, and was known for its support of the city's independence from Fairfax County in 1948. The Echo also advocated for racial integration of the city's schools in the early 1950s, in contrast to some of its neighboring publications. The Echo ceased publication in 1955, when it merged with the Fairfax Sun to form the Fairfax Falls Church Sun Echo, which continued until 1967.
