The Yorkshire Evening Post (often abbreviated to YEP) is a daily evening publication (delivered to newsagents every morning) published by Yorkshire Post Newspapers Ltd in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The paper provides a regional slant on the day's news, and traditionally provides close reporting on Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos as well as the Yorkshire County Cricket Club team.
The newspaper generally has a liberal/centre left bias, unlike the Yorkshire Post which has a particularly conservative bias. Despite its title which implies the paper is Yorkshire wide it is a Leeds based paper, however is widely circulated in Bradford, Harrogate, Huddersfield and Wakefield as well.
The City of Leeds has two further widely circulated local papers, being the Wetherby News and the Wharfedale and Airedale Observer.
For many years the Evening Post produced a separate edition for South Yorkshire printed simultaneously in Doncaster. In 1970 that was converted into the now-defunct Doncaster Evening Post.

Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or post:
“Dear, why should you command me to my rest,
When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
Methinks this time becometh lovers best;
Night was ordained together friends to keep.
How happy are all other living things,
Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
The quiet evening yet together brings,
And each returns unto his love at night.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.”
—Emily Post (1873–1960)
