This depends on which of the Four Gospels you're asking about. They are held to be named after their authors: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Different scholars claim varying dates of composition, but this is a summary from Wikipedia of the most common views:

  • Mark: c. 68-73, c 65-70
  • Matthew: c. 70-100. c 80-85. Some conservative scholars argue for a pre-70 date, particularly those that do not accept Mark as the first gospel written.
  • Luke: c. 80-100, with most arguing for somewhere around 85, c 80-85
  • John: c 90-100, c. 90-110, The majority view is that it was written in stages, so there was no one date of composition.
