The Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard is a weekly tabloid newspaper serving the Cowal Peninsula area of Argyll and Bute, in western Scotland.

It was published by E&R Inglis Ltd. until 2015, when the owners, Marion and John Carmichael, decided to retire.

Founded on 25 March 1871 in nearby Sandbank by William Inglis, Sr,[4][5] who was editor and proprietor, it moved to Dunoon for the first time in 1906.

In 2015, upon the retirement of the Carmichaels, the newspaper was purchased by Argyll Media Ltd.
