The Leinster Express is a regional newspaper in Ireland that serves County Laois.

The Leinster Express was originally published in Maryborough (renamed Portlaoise in 1929), Queen's County (renamed County Laois in 1922), Ireland in 1831 - an archive of its papers are available in Laois County Library in Portlaoise.[ citation needed ]
