}}The '''''El Paso Herald-Post''''' was an afternoon daily newspaper in [[El Paso, Texas]], United States. It was the successor to the '''El Paso Herald''', first published in 1881, and the El Paso Post, founded by the [[E. W. Scripps Company]] in 1922. The papers merged in 1931 under Scripps ownership.

The ''Herald-Post'' was nominated for two [[Pulitzer Prize]]s in 1987 for a story about a Mexican drug lord and for its literacy campaign. It later launched the El Paso area's first online news site in 1996. When the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain shut the paper down in 1997, it cited a substantial decline in circulation, similar to that experienced by other afternoon newspapers in the U.S. at the time.

On August 24, 2015, a former local news employee revived the ''El Paso Herald-Post'' brand by launching a website with the same name. However, the online-only publication has no affiliation with the former newspaper.
