O Phileleftheros (Greek: Ὁ Φιλελεύθερος, meaning "The Liberal") is the largest newspaper (by circulation) in Cyprus, with about 26,000 copies daily (2002). Established in 1955, it is also the oldest Greek-language daily newspaper in circulation on the island. Other daily newspapers published in Cyprus include Politis, Simerini, Haravgi, and Alithia.

Over the years, Phileleftheros has expanded into a publishing company and has released several magazines (including the Cyprus editions of Cosmopolitan and Top Gear), as well as recently launching its own radio station, Radio Sfera.

In a newspaper scene dominated by political parties, Phileleftheros gains a reputation of being independent and not under the influence of any particular political party. The paper's motto reads: "Ημερήσια Εφημερίδα στην Υπηρεσία του Κυπριακού Λαού", which translates into English as the "Daily newspaper serving the people of Cyprus".
