'Al-Ahram' (Arabic: الأهرام; ), founded in 1875, is the most widely circulating Egyptian daily newspaper, and the second oldest after Al-Waqae'a Al-Masreya ( , founded 1828). It is majority owned by the Egyptian government.

Given the large dialectical variety of the Arabic language, Al-Ahram is widely considered an influential source of writing style in Arabic. In 1950, the Middle East Institute described Al-Ahram as being to the Arabic-reading public within its area of distribution, "What the London Times is to Englishmen and the New York Times to Americans."

In addition to the main edition published in Egypt, the paper publishes two other Arabic-language editions, one geared to the Arab World and the other aimed at an international audience, as well as editions in English and French.
