The Post Man was an English newspaper published between 1695 and 1730. It was edited by Jean de Fonvive, a Huguenot refugee. It appeared three times a week and established such a reputation that the soldier, Duke of Marlborough, insisted that his military dispatches should only appear in its pages. It was published in London.
