The Moscow Times is an English-language daily newspaper published in Moscow, Russia since 1992. The circulation in early 2004 stood at 35,000 copies and the newspaper is typically given out for free at places English-language "expats" attend, including hotels, cafes and restaurants.

The newspaper also maintains a large reader base abroad through its web site at http://www.TheMoscowTimes.com

The fact that the newspaper is not read by the average Russian has allowed it to take stances critical of the government on issues ranging from the war in Chechnya to censorship in the media.

Until 2005, the paper was owned by Independent Media , a Moscow-registered publishing house that also prints a Russian-language daily newspaper, Vedomosti, and Russian-language versions of popular glossy magazines such as FHM, Men's Health and Cosmopolitan. Earlier this year, Independent Media was acquired by the Dutch-Finnish publishing group Sanoma.

The Editor in Chief is Lynn Berry , formerly a reporter for the Associated Press.
