The Arabic-language journal Al-Balagh al-Usbuʿi (Arabic: البلاغ الاسبوعی; DMG: al-Balāġ al-Usbūʿī; English: "The Weekly News") was published weekly in Cairo, Egypt, between 1926 and 1930. Four volumes with a total of 150 editions were published. Abbas Mahmoud al-Aqqad (1889-1964), the founder, was a well-known Egyptian writer, poet, philosopher and historian who appointed as editor of the journal.[1] In addition to critical political articles, numerous poems and prose were published in the magazine.[2] Among well-known authors (1908-1938) gained popularity through his poetry. (1886-1951), a teacher and pioneer among Egyptian women's rights activists of the 20th century, designed a special page for women with feminist themes and discourses of Egypt from that time.[3]

Al-Balagh al-Usbuʿi was also regarded as a supporter of the Wafd Party, therefore its publication was probably discontinued in 1930.[1]
