Al-Waqa'i' al-Misriyya (Arabic: الوقائع المصريّة / ALA-LC: al-Waqā’i‘ al-Miṣriyyah; meaning "the Egyptian affairs") was an Egyptian newspaper (now a government information bulletin) established in 1828 on the order of Muhammad Ali, originally titled Vekayi-i Misriye (Ottoman Turkish: وقایع مصریه) and written in Ottoman Turkish in the right column with an Arabic translation in the left one, and later in Arabic only[1] under the Arabic title.

It was printed at the Amiri Press.[2]

Al-Waqa'i' was the official gazette of Egypt, and is now published as an appendix of the Official Journal.[3]
