The Economic Observer (simplified Chinese: 经济观察报; traditional Chinese: 經濟觀察報; pinyin: jīngjìguānchá bào) is an independent^{[citation needed]} weekly simplified-character Chinese newspaper published in the People's Republic of China since April 2001. The newspaper is considered one of the top three economic-focused newspapers in China^[1] and is well regarded for its in-depth special features and commentary.^[1]

Inspired by the British Financial Times,^{[citation needed]} as of September 2001, the Economic Observer has also been printed on salmon/peach-colored paper. Although the newspaper's editorial offices are based in Beijing, the newspaper is actually registered in Ji'nan, the capital of Shandong province.

The Economic Observer Online was relaunched in March 2007 and offers subscribers access to all the newspaper's content. However, most of the articles from each week's newspaper also appear on the website at no charge, along with web-only content, which includes commentary and op-ed pieces from guest columnists.

The newspaper's English-language website, features select translations from the weekly newspaper and the website; it also publishes original reporting and interviews.
