The Telegraph of Nashua is the daily newspaper of Nashua, New Hampshire in the USA. 2003 circulation was roughly 27,000 daily, 34,000 Sunday. Founded in 1869, it is the second-largest newspaper in the state.

The paper may have drawn the most attention during the 1980 presidential primary, when it hosted a candidates' debate paid for by Ronald Reagan. During a debate over which candidates should be allowed to participate, the Telegraph's then-editor Jon Breen, acting as moderator, told the soundman to turn off Reagan's microphone. Reagan's tough-talking 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.
