The Telegraph of Nashua is a daily newspaper in Nashua, New Hampshire. It was founded as the Nashua Daily Telegraph in 1869, although a weekly version dates back to 1832. As of 2004 it is the second-largest newspaper in the state, with a circulation of about 27,000 daily, and 34,000 on Sunday.

The paper received some attention during the 1980 presidential primary, when it hosted a debate paid for by Ronald Reagan. During a discussion over which candidates should be allowed to participate, Telegraph editor Jon Breen, acting as moderator, told the soundman to turn off Reagan's microphone. Reagan's response, "I paid for this microphone, Mr. Green!" entered the political lexicon and, some say, launched his successful run for office. The fact that Reagan got the editor's name wrong is often forgotten.

After being family owned for a century, the Telegraph was bought in the 1980s by Independent Publications of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, which owns several, smaller daily and weekly newspapers around the U.S. as well as some other businesses.
