De Volkskrant (literally "the people's paper") is a national daily Dutch morning newspaper.

de Volkskrant was founded in 1919 and is a daily morning newspaper since 1921. Originally de Volkskrant was a Roman Catholic newspaper, closely linked to the Catholic People's Party and the catholic pillar. On its re-founding in 1945 its office moved from Den Bosch to Amsterdam. It became a left-wing newspaper in the 1960s. Its former clear left wing stance has been watered down since 1980. On August 23, 2006 the Volkskrant published its 25,000th edition.

The daily circulation is 326,000 copies in 2002, which makes it the third biggest newspaper of the Netherlands, after the De Telegraaf and Algemeen Dagblad. The total Dutch newspaper circulation in 2002 was 1.9 million.
