The Meitei language (officially known as Manipuri language) has a long history of literature and culture. Meitei language newspapers are either printed in Meitei script or in Bengali script or even in both. The following are some of the notable Meitei language newspapers published and circulated across Manipur, Assam and Tripura states of Northeast India as well as across some parts of Bangladesh and Canada.

All Manipuri language newspapers will be using the Meitei script (Meitei: Meetei Mayek) instead of Bengali script from 15 January 2023; 18 months ago (2023-01-15), according to a joint meeting consensus of the "Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup" (MEELAL), "All Manipur Working Journalists’ Union" (AMWJU) and "Editors' Guild Manipur" (EGM) in Imphal.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}
