Limburgs Dagblad is a Dutch newspaper oriented towards the province Limburg. Founded in 1918, in 2008 the newspaper had a circulation of 46,209.
The newspaper cooperates with its regional counterpart Dagblad de Limburger as Media Groep Limburg, owned by Mecom Group. The newspapers operate a common website. In 2000 both newspapers were acquired by De Telegraaf, however the Netherlands Competition Authority would only agree to this if both newspapers would stay separate. In 2005 this demand was dropped, and since then the newspapers have been working towards more cooperation. In 2006 the Media Group Limburg was sold to the British Mecom Group.
