Aftenposten (Norwegian for "The Evening Post" ) is the leading Norwegian newspaper from Oslo.

Founded in 1860 by Christian Schibsted as Christiania Adresseblad, she continues to appear in Riksmål. The morning edition was printed in 2010, around 240,000 copies and has the highest circulation since 1981 Norwegian daily Verdens Gang (circulation: 233,295 ) obsolete. Additionally appear with Aften on a limited Oslo evening edition ( 2010 edition: 105 012 copies) and since 1990 a Sunday edition of 232,900 copies.

In most cases, conservative aligned and the Høyre related parties, the newspaper was pro- fascist in the 1930s and 40s and printed on 7 May 1945 Knut Hamsun's obituary of Adolf Hitler positive. During the Cold War, the newspaper was strongly anti-Communist and pro-American. In recent years, the conservative attitude, however, has shifted a little to the left, and the newspaper is now considered Israel and USA critical. Aftenposten is owned 100 % of the Schibsted Group.

Aftenposten has correspondents in Berlin, London, Stockholm, Moscow and Washington, DC.
