The Pennsylvania Journal was an American weekly newspaper published by William Bradford during the 18th century.

The first number of the The Pennsylvania Journal appeared in December 1742. A famous contributor was Thomas Paine, who published his first ever journalism in the Journal in 1775, and contributed a series of pamphleteering essays entitled The American Crisis from December 1776 onwards.[1] After Bradford's death in 1791, his son and business partner Thomas Bradford continued the journal, eventually changing its name to the True American.[2]
