Fame was an American magazine founded in New York City in 1988. It focused on celebrity profiles, interviews, photos, and general-interest stories.

The magazine was owned by its publisher, Steven Greenberg, and edited by Gael Love, who had previously worked on Andy Warhol's Interview magazine.{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-08-25-vw-1267-story.html|title=Fame and Smart: Shooting for the '90s Hip|last=ABRAMS|first=GARRY|date=1988-08-25|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=2017-12-31|language=en-US|issn=0458-3035}} In 1989, Fame published an unauthorized index to The Andy Warhol Diaries, but was beaten to publication by Spy magazine, which released its own index a month earlier.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}
