Haynt ({{Langx|yi|הײַנט}} - "Today"; Yidishes tageblat 1906-08) was a Yiddish daily newspaper, published in Warsaw from 1906 until 1939.
Newspaper Yidishes tageblat (יידישעס טאגעבלאט) was founded in 1906 by Zionist Samuel Jackan, a former contributor to the Hebrew language paper Ha-Tsefirah.
In 1908 Yidishes tageblat changed its name to Haynt and quickly established itself as the premier Yiddish newspaper in the Congress Poland.{{Cite web |url=http://www.yivo.org/downloads/Warsaw.pdf |title=Introduction |access-date=2008-05-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061003233137/http://www.yivo.org/downloads/Warsaw.pdf |archive-date=2006-10-03 |url-status=dead }}
The practice of reprinting Yiddish fiction in serialized form helped Haynt set new circulation records for Yiddish journalism. By 1913 the newspaper reached a circulation of more than 150,000 copies.http://www.yivo.org/downloads/Warsaw.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061003233137/http://www.yivo.org/downloads/Warsaw.pdf |date=2006-10-03 }}.
From 1908 till 1932 Haynt was a private company. In 1932 a cooperative called Alt-Nay was formed by the staff, who administered the newspaper ever since.{{Cite web|url=http://haynt.org/chronicles.htm|title=Haynt: a Tsaytung bay Yidn (Today: A Jewish Newspaper),1908-1939|website=www.haynt.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150413061707/http://www.haynt.org/|archive-date=2015-04-13}}
