El Mundo is a Venezuelan evening newspaper.

For most of its existence El Mundo was the only Venezuelan evening newspaper; a rival, April, was launched by Bloque DeArmas in 1997 but closed in 2003. Another rival, Tal Cual, was launched by Teodoro Petkoff in 2000 after Petkoff had for a time been director of El Mundo.

On 20 February 2009, it ceased publication in printed form, with a planned relaunch as a digital-only publication scheduled for 27 April 2009.[2]
