The Express was a free English language local community tabloid newspaper, printed and published weekly by Herbert Denley, at 58 Good Street, Granville, New South Wales, Australia.[1] The newspaper circulated in the suburbs of Auburn, Lidcombe, Berala, Regents Park, Flemington, Homebush and surrounding districts, reporting on social, community, sporting and local government activities, and provided local business and classified advertising.[2]

The first issue of The Express was published in 1924, and by June 1933 the paper had a guaranteed circulation of 10,000.[3]

The Express continued publication until the early 1950s.[4]
