The Fookien Times (Chinese: 新閩日報; pinyin: Xīn Mǐn Rìbào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sin Bân Ji̍t-pò / Sin Bân Li̍t-pò; lit. 'New Fukien Daily Newspaper') was a daily broadsheet newspaper in the Philippines written in the Chinese language. Founded by Dee C. Chuan in 1926, it was once the Philippines' largest Chinese-language newspaper in terms of circulation.[2]

Although the newspaper itself was shut down in 1972 by Ferdinand Marcos with the imposition of martial law, some of its facilities were later used for the publishing of campaign materials during the People Power Revolution, and it continues to print until today the better-known Fookien Times Philippines Yearbook, one of the Philippines' longest-running publications.
