The Oldham Evening Chronicle was a newspaper first published in 1854 to cover the borough of Oldham in Greater Manchester. Created by publisher and bookseller Daniel Evans, the paper was originally known as the Oldham Chronicle. The paper changed hands a number of times in the 19th century, but was owned by the Hirst family from 1857 until 2017. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries it was highly successful and became a daily publication in 1880. A weekly edition was also produced until 1982.

Publication stopped in 2017, with the final edition appearing on the 31st of August. However, in 2018 it was revived as an online newspaper owned by local radio station Revolution 96.2. In 2022, the newspaper made a return to print, distributing free copies in supermarkets, larger post offices and newsagents.
