The Canton Register was an English language newspaper founded by Scottish merchants James Matheson and his nephew Alexander together with Philadelphian William Wightman Wood, the first editor. First published in Canton on November 8, 1827 and printed every two weeks, it was one of China's first English-language newspapers.
Merchant David Olyphant of Olyphant & Co. provided financial support to the paper.
