Berita Harian (Malay for "Daily News") is the sole Malay-language broadsheet newspaper published in Singapore. It is published daily from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday as Berita Minggu (Malay: "Sunday News"). It was founded on 1 July 1957. The newspaper was revamped in May 2013.

It had an average daily circulation of 52,500 in 2012.

This newspaper is indirectly related to the Malaysian newspaper of the same name, Berita Harian. Although both were established on the same date, 1 July 1957, they were split in September 1972 as the Singaporean one is non-politically aligned whilst the Malaysian one remains aligned with United Malays National Organisation.[1] [2]
