The Vanuatu Daily Post is a newspaper published in Port Vila in Vanuatu. It is the only daily newspaper in Vanuatu.
In 1993, British journalist Marc Neil-Jones acquired the rights to publish the periodical The Trading Post and used it as the foundation for creating the first professional newspaper in Vanuatu. The publication is issued in English. Initially, it was released weekly, and the company obtained its first independent funding by winning a tender to redesign the telephone directory.
Within the first year, circulation reached 2,000 copies, and the title began appearing twice a week. Since May 2003, it has been published as the Vanuatu Daily Post and operates as a daily newspaper.
The newspaper's founder, Marc Neil-Jones, had been the victim of physical attacks supported by government ministers during his time at the newspaper. He died March 10th 2025.
