Leobschützer Kreisblatt (lit.: Leobschütz District Paper) was a weekly local newspaper based in the Leobschütz District in the south-west of the Oppeln Region.

The Leobschützer Kreisblatt was printed by W. Wittkes Buchdruckerei ^[6] and co-published by the Der Landrat. Red..^[6] Printing commenced in 1843.

In 1920 the Leobschützer Kreisblatt underwent crucial changes, such as simplification of its logo and the transition from an exclusively German newspaper over to a split-page bilingual German-Polish newspaper, perhaps in relation to the Upper Silesian Plebiscite. This new format was upheld until the magazine's discontinuation in 1922.
