Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper was an early Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom.

The paper was launched by Edward Lloyd in 1842 as Lloyd's Illustrated London Newspaper, following the success of his Lloyd's Penny Weekly Miscellany. The new paper was intended as a rival for the Illustrated London News. It sold for two pence, a third the price of the Illustrated, and offered eight pages of news with woodcut illustrations.[1]


In 1931 it merged with the Sunday Graphic.[2]
