The Kreuzzeitung (German for "Cross Newspaper"), or more precisely Neue Preußische Zeitung ("New Prussian Newspaper"), was a German newspaper started in the 19th century in the Kingdom of Prussia. It was known as the Kreuzzeitung because its emblem was an iron cross (eisernes Kreuz).

It was founded by Herrmann Wagener to act as the voice for the German conservatives, especially Leopold and Ernst Ludwig von Gerlach as well as Hans Hugo von Kleist-Retzow.

Its most famous writer was Theodor Fontane who wrote the English Article (1856-1870).
