The '''''Ipswich Journal''''' was a newspaper founded in [Ipswich](/source/Ipswich), [Suffolk](/source/Suffolk) in August 1720. Far from being a local newspaper, the ''Ipswich Journal'' featured national and international news. At a cost of “three half-pence” it attracted a small but affluent readership of about 250 gentlemen.<ref name="Wright">{{cite web |last1=Wright |first1=Pip |last2=Wright |first2=Joy |title=Newspapers in Suffolk Part 1 From 1720-1800|url=http://www.pipwright.com/Newspapers_in_Suffolk_1720_1800.htm |website=www.pipwright.com |publisher=Pip Wright |accessdate=29 October 2020}}</ref> It was published on a weekly basis until 29 June, 1886.<ref name="LOC">{{cite web |title=The IpswichJournal. |url=https://www.loc.gov/item/sn88063282/ |website=Library of Congress|publisher=Library of Congress |accessdate=29 October 2020}}</ref>

The newspaper was founded by John Bagnall, who had moved to Ipswich from [London](/source/London). In 1739 it was taken over by [William Craighton](/source/William_Craighton), who continued publication until his death in 1761. At this point the newspaper continued under the ownership of his unmarried sister Elizabeth and their nephew, William Jackson.<ref name="Oldham">{{cite journal |last1=Oldham |first1=J.
