Ayk (in Armenian Այգ) was an Armenian daily newspaper published in Beirut Mondays to Fridays for the period 1953 to 1975. It was established by Dikran and Lucy Tosbat, as an independent non-partisan Armenian daily in stark contrast to the three other Lebanese Armenian dailies that were partisan and official party organs: Aztag, the organ of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Tashnag), Ararad, the organ of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (Hentchag) and Zartonk, the organ of the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party (ADL - Ramgavar).

Ayk's founder Dikran Tosbat also published the Lebanese French-language daily Le Soir. The newspaper also served to support the political aspirations of Mr. Tosbat for being elected as a member of the Lebanese Parliament on to one of the Armenian parliamentary seats reserved for the Armenian Orthodox in the Lebanese Parliament.

Many well-known writers and literary figures contributed to the daily's content including very notably the Lebanese-Armenian writer Shahantoukhd.

The newspaper stopped publication with the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War and the decisions of the heirs to immigrate to the United States. The licence was sold to another Lebanese publisher that published the newspaper as an English language Lebanese daily rename Ike (a transliterated way of writing the licence name Ayk)

Ike was a main rival to the well-established Lebanese English-language daily The Daily Star. Ike could not sustain the rivalry and was closed permanently some time later after having incurred persistent financial losses.
