Skiensposten was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Skien.
Skiensposten was started in 1842 by Herman Bagger, a Danish immigrant who had worked as a jurist, teacher, farmer and politician.
Before the end of the year, however, he grew tired and resigned as chief editor.
Skiensposten survived for the time being, but faced competition from Bratsberg Amtstidende, a newspaper founded in 1840 by Peter Feilberg.
The new owners of Skiensposten tried to halve the price, and changed its name to Skiens Adressetidende.
