De Morgen (Dutch for The Morning) is a Flemish newspaper with a circulation of 53,860. The paper is published in Brussels, Belgium.

De Morgen originates from a merger in 1978 of two socialist newspapers Vooruit (newspaper) (meaning "Onwards" in English) and Volksgazet (meaning "People's Newspaper" in English). The Vooruit was founded in Ghent by Edward Anseele and appeared the first time on 31 August 1884, just before the foundation of the Belgian Labour Party (Dutch: Belgische Werklieden Partij) in 1885.

De Morgen was modelled on French daily Liberation. The paper is published by De Persgroep which also publishes Het Laatste Nieuws.
