The Aberdeen Citizen was the highest distributed free newspaper in Aberdeen. It was a weekly newspaper.[1] Launched in 1989, as the Aberdeen Herald & Post, it was re-launched as its current title in 2002. It provided a round-up of the week's community news, sport and events to over 75,000 households in the city and surrounding areas.[2] "We have a good team spirit at the Aberdeen Citizen and we work together to make sure that every resident in Aberdeen City and Shire gets their paper!" The Aberdeen Citizen expanded progressively since its launch in 1989 and won "The Best Free Newspaper In Scotland" Award.

In 2002, the Office of Fair Trading handed Aberdeen Journals a fine for predatory pricing for advertising in the Citizen. Its then-owners, Northcliffe Newspapers, expressed disappointment with the ruling.[3]
The paper's print version ceased publication on 23 May 2018. However, its online version has been merged with The Press and Journal.
