Tierps-Posten was a local Swedish newspaper serving Tierp and the northern part of the Uppland province and was published from 1892 to 1963. The newspaper was published three days per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The newspaper published "The Phantom" daily strip from 1943 when the newspaper started publishing comics until 1963, when the newspaper ceased to be published. It was printed at the same location in Östhammar as Östhammars Tidning, and some of the contents, such as the comics, was the same in both newspapers. During 1962 and 1963, Östhammars Tidning was one day ahead of Tierps-Posten due to publication on different weekdays.
