The Nashua Telegraph is a daily newspaper in Nashua, New Hampshire. It was founded as the Nashua Daily Telegraph in 1869, although a weekly version dates back to 1832. As of 2005 it was the second-largest newspaper in the state, with a circulation of about 27,000 daily, and 34,000 on Sunday.

The paper received national attention during the 1980 New Hampshire presidential primary, when it hosted a Republican debate paid for by the campaign of former California Governor Ronald Reagan.

During a discussion over which candidates should be allowed to participate, Telegraph editor Jon Breen, acting as moderator, told the soundman to turn off Reagan's microphone.

Reagan's response of "I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Green", [sic] was wildly applauded by the audience and even his fellow Republican primary opponents, none of whom noted that he got the moderator's name wrong.

The phrase entered the political lexicon and, some say, helped launch Reagan's successful run for the presidency.
