The regional news agency DNIESTER (Russian: РИА Днестр) was a privately held independent news agency that covered political processes and trends in the southwest region of former USSR.

The news and analytical Internet portal was formed in Tiraspol on 13 July 2009 by Roman Konoplev.

The main purpose of the project was to analyse the sociopolitical situation in Moldova, Transnistria (also known as Pridnestrovie), and Ukraine.

The agency was also involved in monitoring the media of Romania and other European Union countries that publish materials about the region.

On 8 November 2012 the website of the agency DNIESTER was blocked by the local Internet providers at the territory of Transnistria.
