The Land is an English language newspaper published in Sydney and later in North Richmond, New South Wales by Rural Press, a part of the Fairfax Media group. The newspaper commenced publication in 1911.
The Land first appeared in 1911 as a two penny broadsheet. It was originally published by the United Farmers and Woolgrowers' Association of New South Wales and later Rural Press, which merged with Fairfax Media.
In 1930 Harry J. Stephens took up the post of editor; from 1906 to 1920 he had been the driving force behind the paper's chief opposition, The Farmer and Settler.
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.
