Le Nouveau Quotidien (NQ) was a French-language Swiss daily newspaper founded in September 1991, published out of Lausanne. It was published by Edipresse, with the French newspaper Libération and the media group Ringier also having financial interest and collaboration with its publication. It was a non-regional paper, aiming to cover the interests of French-speaking Switzerland. The editor-in-chief of the paper throughout most of its life was Jacques Pilet, who was replaced in 1997 by Alain Campiotti.
Following financial difficulties that faced both papers, it was merged in March 1998 with the Journal de Genève et Gazette de Lausanne, its more conservative competitor, to form Le Temps.
