The Ottumwa Courier (formerly called Ottumwa Daily Courier) is a three-day (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) newspaper published in Ottumwa, Iowa, United States, and covering Wapello County, Iowa.

It also publishes digital-only editions on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Publishing since 1848, and as a daily newspaper from 1865 to 2020, the Courier is Ottumwa's oldest business.

The company sold the Courier to Liberty Publishing Group in 1999; two years later, Liberty sold it to CNHI, which has owned it since then.

[5] In May 2020, the CNHI newspaper Daily Iowegian was discontinued and merged with Ottumwa Courier; this was one of the 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
