Le Devoir is a French language Canadian newspaper founded by Quebec journalist, politician and nationalist Henri Bourassa in 1910.

Bourassa had resigned from the Liberal Party of Canada in 1910 after opposing Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier's decision to construct an independent Canadian Navy. Bourassa then created Le Devoir as an outlet for Quebec nationalism, the first issue appearing on January 10, 1910, in which he opposed involvement in World War I and the adoption of conscription during the war (see Conscription Crisis of 1917).

Bourassa headed the newspaper until August 3, 1932. The newspaper continued to speak for Quebec nationalists, also opposing conscription during World War II (Conscription Crisis of 1944), and more recently, favouring sovereignty for Quebec. It has a circulation of about 30, 000.
