Matsu Daily (Chinese: 馬祖日報; pinyin: Mǎzǔ Rìbào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Má-chó͘-ji̍t-pò) is a newspaper owned by the government of the Lienchiang County, Fujian Province, Republic of China, an East Asian country which is commonly known by its largest island Taiwan.
It was founded as Tengpu Daily (登步報 Pinyin: Dēngbù Bào), a newspaper published to the military on Tengpu Island, to commemorate the victory of Tengpu Battle. Following the later retreat to Matsu, the newspaper continued to be published. Matsu Daily started to be published on September 3, 1957.
The ownership of the newspaper was transferred from the military to the county government in 1992. The online version was launched in 1999.
