The Diario Palentino is a general information newspaper published in the Spanish city of Palencia.

[2] José Alonso de Ojeda was the director of Diario Palentino for more than half a century.

[6] From the 1980s onwards, the ownership of the newspaper was acquired by the Alonso family who, in 1998, sold 95% of the ownership of the newspaper to Grupo Promecal, the publishing company of Diario de Burgos, which took charge of its complete updating, changing its headquarters and providing it with new media and technology.

It also has two regional offices in Guardo and Aguilar de Campoo, run by Sandra Macho and Marta Redondo respectively.

The Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos de España, known as Correos, issued a postage stamp corresponding to the series Diarios centenarios, which went on sale on 16 May 2005, designed by Ion Echeveste, which reproduces the image of the Cristo del Otero, the work of Victorio Macho, the city's coat of arms, and a rooster symbolising the salesmen or spokesmen and which forms part of the newspaper's corporate identity.
