This is a list of men's magazines from around the world. These are magazines (periodical print publications) that have been published primarily for a readership of men.
The list has been split into subcategories according to the target audience of the magazines. This list includes adult magazines. Not included here are magazines which may happen to have, or may be assumed to have, a predominantly male audience - such as magazines focusing on cars, trains, modelbuilding and gadgets. The list excludes online publications.
General male audience
These publications appeal to a broad male audience. Some skew toward men's fashion, others to health. Most are marketed to a particular age and income demographic. In the United States, some are marketed mainly to a specific ethnic group, such as African Americans or Mexicans.

Men's lifestyle magazines
{{See also|Lad mag}}
Men's lifestyle magazines (lad mags in the UK and specifically men's magazines in North America) were popular in the 1990 and 2000s, focusing on a mix of "sex, sport, gadgets and grooming tips".{{cite web | title=Sex doesn't sell as lads mags suffer |publisher=BBC News | date=1999-08-16 | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/421023.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211219171136/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/421023.stm |archive-date= December 19, 2021 |access-date=2021-12-19 }} From the early 2000s, sales of these magazines declined very substantially as the internet provided the same content (and particularly more graphic pornography) for free.
