This qualitative descriptive research collects data on news and articles about religious tolerance in online Islamic mass media from2018–2023. Data wasanalyzed using metaphor identification procedure, conceptual metaphor theory, and mixed metaphor. The results of the study show that there are 9 source domains, namely 1) TOLERANCE IS A CLOTHING, (2) TOLERANCE IS A SPACE/BUILDING, (3) TOLERANCE IS A HUMAN, (4) TOLERANCE IS A HUMAN BODY, (5) TOLERANCE IS A PLANT, and (6) TOLERANCE IS A THING, (7) TOLERANCE IS A BUSINESS COMMODITY, (8) TOLERANCE IS WAR, and (9) TOLERANCE IS A VEHICLE. Generally, the metaphor of tolerance in online Islamic mass media is classified into three tones: positive, negative, and neutral.Online Islamic mass media that have a positive tone are NU Online and Alif.id, mass media with a mixed tone (positive-neutral) is Suara Muhammadiyah and (positive-neutral-negative) is Hidayatullah.com, and mass media with a positive tone negative are Portal Islam, Suara Islam, VOA Islam, and Era Muslim.
