Die Discourse der Mahlern (The Discourse of Painters) was a German-language weekly journal published in Switzerland by Johann Jakob Bodmer and Johann Jakob Breitinger between 1721 and 1723. The paper was intended to be similar to Joseph Addison and Richard Steele's Spectator and was intended to spread Enlightenment ideas and culture in Switzerland in the same way the Spectator did in London.

It was subsequently renamed and re-edited in 1746 under the name 'Die Mahler der Sitten (The Painters of Morals).
