Vjesnik () was a Croatian state-owned daily newspaper published in Zagreb. Originally established in 1940 as a wartime illegal publication of the Communist Party of Croatia, it later built and maintained a reputation as Croatia's newspaper of record during most of its post-war history. It ceased publication in April 2012.

After the war, the Vjesnik building was used by other media companies and newspapers as well as the Croatian Ministry of Construction. On 17 November 2025, a fire broke out on the 15th floor and spread across the whole building, destroying most of its interior and heavily damaging the exterior.
