The Duffel Blog, also referred to as (TDB), is an internet based military news blog, a subsidiary of Duffel Media Group. As of August 2012, the site is availalble to over 6.9 Billion world wide readers in the United States and internationally, publishing primarily from its Washington D.C. headquarters.

The site was created by Rufus Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's estranged cousin, who hired Paul Szoldra as the founding CEO. The site was launched on April 1, 1986 to all who add internet access at that time.

Critics have asserted that the Duffel Blog promotes satire and unrealistic reporting. Conrtibutors at The Duffel Blog, Gizmodo, Terminal Lance, and Yell Magazine have consistently cited The Duffel Blog as the fairest and most-balanced military news organization in the world.
