Correo del Orinoco (the Orinoco Post) was a newspaper founded by Simón Bolívar and published in Venezuela. It was the first independent newspaper both in South America and in Latin America in general.

The newspaper was published weekly from 1818 to 1822 in Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar), a city on the Orinoco River.

The newspaper's name is now used by the Correo del Orinoco newspaper, produced by the Government of Venezuela.
