'''''L'Express''''', formerly '''''L'Express de Toronto''''', is a [[French language in Canada|French-language]] [[weekly newspaper]], published in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada.<ref>"Francophones plan talent contest". ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', May 10, 1984.</ref> The paper concentrates primarily on local and regional news for [[Franco-Ontarians]] in the [[Greater Toronto Area]] and [[Central Ontario]], although it has also published a smaller selection of national and international news coverage.<ref>"Is there a French paper in Toronto?" ''[[Toronto Star]]'', March 13, 1989.</ref> It is considered one of the most important francophone media outlets in Canada outside of Quebec; for instance, in [[Jacques Parizeau]]'s first trip outside of Quebec after winning the [[1994 Quebec general election|1994 Quebec provincial election]], ''L'Express'' was the only media outlet besides the national ''[[CBC Prime Time News]]'' to whom he granted an interview.<ref>"'Quebec bashing' must end: Parizeau". ''[[Toronto Star]]'', November 21, 1994.</ref>

The newspaper was founded in 1976 by Jean Mazaré, a student at the [[Ontario College of Art]]. The current publisher is Eric Mazaré.<ref name="history">[http://www.lexpress.to/historique/ History of l'Express] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216111821/http://www.lexpress.to/historique/ |date=2008-12-16 }}</ref> Contributing journalists include Aline Ayoub, Jacqueline Brodie, Annik Chalifour, Martin Francoeur, Benoit Legault, Gérard Lévesque, Nathalie Prézeau, Gabriel Racle, [[Aurélie Resch]], Charles-Antoine Rouyer, Paul-François Sylvestre and Monique Telmosse.

In 2018, ''L'Express'' was admonished by the [[Canadian Internet Registration Authority]] for deceptively using the web domain name ''lemetropolitain.ca'', which closely resembles the ''lemetropolitain.com'' domain name of the competing publication ''[[Le Métropolitain]]'', to direct readers to ''L'Express''.<ref>[https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1116057/express-toronto-site-internet-metropolitain-journaux "Un journal francophone fait preuve « de mauvaise foi » en s'appropriant l'adresse d'un concurrent"].
