The Northants Herald & Post was a local weekly newspaper distributed free of charge in Northampton, England, and the surrounding towns and villages.

The newspaper was founded as the Northants Post in 1975 by a company managed by businessman and journalist Tony Boullemier, who worked for the Daily Express, where he was chief sub-editor.

In 2008 Trinity Mirror carried out a shakeup of its UK Midlands operations seeking job cuts and integration.

The Herald & Post's main competitor was the weekly Northampton Mercury and Citizen, also delivered free with a circulation of 53,562.
