The Algemeen Dagblad (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑlɣəmeːn ˈdɑɣblɑt]; English: General Daily Paper), also known by its initialism AD ([aːˈdeː]) is a Dutch daily newspaper based in Rotterdam.
Algemeen Dagblad was founded in 1946. The paper is published in tabloid format and is headquartered in Rotterdam. Its regional focus includes the cities and regions around Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague. In South Holland and Utrecht it is published and distributed with local dailies. The national edition is for sale everywhere and distributed throughout the rest of the Netherlands. AD is owned by DPG Media (known as De Persgroep until 2019) and is published by PCM Uitgevers NV.
AD includes a regional supplement in the districts previously served by these regional papers. Two of them, the AD Haagsche Courant (for The Hague region) and the AD Rotterdams Dagblad (for the Rotterdam region) appear in both a morning and an evening edition.
