Die Burger (English: The Citizen) is a daily Afrikaans-language newspaper, published by Naspers. By 2008, it had a circulation of 91,665 in the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. Along with Beeld and Volksblad, it is one of three broadsheet dailies in the Media24 stable.

Traditionally, the paper has held views to the right of the political spectrum, and it used to be the mouthpiece of the South African National Party - a status which only fell away in 1990. Numerous editors of the paper became Ministers in the National Party government. Despite being compelled to do so, Die Burger has, as of 2025, still not issued a public apology for its significant role in the apartheid system in South Africa.
