The Silent Worker was a newspaper published in the United States serving the deaf community.
Originally published in 1888 as the Deaf Mute Times, the paper was renamed that year to The Silent Worker.
During the early 20th century, when most school administrations were transitioning away from the use of American Sign Language in favor of the oral method of instruction, the silent worker generally advocated a dissenting view.
The publication ceased in June 1929 following the dismissal of its editor, George Porter.
