{{Use Indian English|date=February 2019}}{{Use dmy dates|date=December 2018}}Munshi Newal Kishore (3 January 1836 – 19 February 1895) was a book publisher from India. He has been called Caxton of India. In 1858, at the age of 22, he founded the 'Newal Kishore Press and Book Depot' at Lucknow. This institution today is the oldest printing and publishing concern in Asia.^[1] Mirza Ghalib was one of his admirers. Munshi Newal Kishore was son of Pandit Jamuna Prasad Bhargave, a zamindar of Aligarh, and was born on 3 January 1836. He died in 1885 in Delhi. The Government of India issued a postage stamp on him in his honour in 1970.^[2]

Munshi Newal Kishore published more than 5000 books in Arabic, Bengali, Hindi, English, Marathi, Punjabi, Pashto, Persian, Sanskrit and Urdu during 1858–1885.^[3] The Ram Kumar Press and Tej Kumar Press, started by his sons, are successors to the Newal Kishore Press.

Munshi Newal Kishore is the oldest publication of India. They were much admired by noted scholars of all languages from all parts of India. Allama Sayyid Shamsullah Qadri also had many of his works published through Munshi Newal Kishore ^[4]
