Wiener Zeitung is an Austrian newspaper. First published as the Wiennerisches Diarium in 1703, it is one of the oldest newspapers in the world. Until April 2023,[1] it was the official gazette of the government of the Republic of Austria for legally-required announcements, such as company registrations[2] and was also the official publishing body for laws and executive orders until 2004.[3]

Considered a newspaper of record,[4] as of 2002, Wiener Zeitung was among the four Austrian daily quality newspapers beside the right-liberal Die Presse, the left-liberal Der Standard and the Christian-liberal and conservative Salzburger Nachrichten.[5] The newspaper ended its daily print edition on 30 June 2023,[1][6] becoming an online publication. The launch of the digital platform won the 2023 European Publishing Award for a “Launch or Relaunch” of a publication in digital form.[7]
