The Ceylon Daily Mirror was an English language daily newspaper in Ceylon published by Times of Ceylon Limited (TOCL).[1][2] Modelled on the British Daily Mirror, it was founded in 1961 and was published from Colombo.[1][2][3] In 1966 it had an average net sales of 17,705.[2] It had an average circulation of 17,217 in 1970, 15,995 in 1973 and 8,500 in 1976.[4][5][6] It was renamed Daily Mirror in the mid-1970s.[4][6] It ceased publication in 1979.[1]

TOCL was nationalised by the Sri Lankan government in August 1977.[1] The state-run TOCL faced financial and labour problems and on 31 January 1985 it and its various publications closed down.[1] Ranjith Wijewardena, chairman of Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited (ANCL) before it was nationalised in July 1973, bought the trade names and library of the TOCL publications in 1986.[1][7] Wijewardena's company, Wijeya Newspapers, subsequently started various newspapers using the names of former TOCL publications.[1] The Midweek Mirror, later renamed The Daily Mirror, started publishing in 1995.[1]
