"The Border Mail" is a daily newspaper published in Albury-Wodonga, Australia, serving the twin cities and the surrounding region.

The first edition was printed on 24 October 1903 by editor Hamilton Mott and his brother Decimus. Originally published in Dean St in Albury, the paper operated from a number of Albury locations before a shift in 1999 to the former Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation headquarters in Wodonga. The paper retains offices in both cities.

A six-days-a-week tabloid, the paper covers national and international news (mostly through Australian Associated Press and McClatchy Newspapers coverage) as well as local issues. Its editorial and op-ed pieces tend to reflect the quiet rural conservatism of its readership.

The paper has extensively covered some of the longest-running political debates in the region, notably the variety of plans to remove a level crossing from central Wodonga and the route for the Hume Freeway bypass of Albury.

On 4 May 2006, the Mott family announced that they would accept an $162 million dollar deal from John Fairfax Holdings to purchase the newspaper and its stake in the associated printing company. The deal ended over 103 years of family ownership.
