The Kathmandu Post is a major daily newspaper published in Nepal. Founded in February 1993 by Shyam Goenka, it is one of the largest English-language newspapers in the country. The newspaper is published by Kantipur Publications, the publishers of Nepal's largest selling newspaper, the Nepali-language Kantipur. Post is a member of the Asia News Network, an alliance of nineteen Asian newspapers. The Kathmandu Post is Nepal's first privately owned English broadsheet daily, and is Nepal's largest selling English language newspaper, with a daily circulation of 95,000 copies.

The Post's first five pages are primarily dedicated to national news. Each day, the last page offers a variety of features, including explainers, interviews, auto reviews, and restaurant reviews and destinations. During the weekdays, the newspaper also features culture & arts pages, which cover national and international news on society, life and style, fashion and technology. On the weekends, the Post focuses on long-form journalism, satire and creative non-fiction articles.

Since 2018, under the editorship of Anup Kaphle, the Post focused on longer investigative pieces, analyses and explainers, making those the core of its daily reporting. Kaphle resigned in February 2020 and was replaced as editor by Sanjeev Satgainya. Biswas Baral, former editor of The Annapurna Express, was appointed editor in September 2022 after Satgainya resigned. Satgainya and Baral reversed many of the changes that Kaphle had made, turning the paper back to its previous focus on op-ed and political reporting.
