The Common People's Newspaper (Heimin shimbun) was a paper for the Commoners' Society (Heimin-sha), founded by Kotoku Shusui and Sakai Toshihiko.

It played a major role in propagating socialist thought in Japan, and drew the attention of future socialists and anarchists, including Sakae Osugi. It folded in 1907.
