《National Geographic》是美国国家地理学会的官方杂志，在国家地理学会1888年创办的九个月后即开始发行。现在已经成为世界上最广为人知的一本杂志，其封面上的亮黄色边框以及月桂纹图样已经成为象征，同时这些标识也是国家地理杂志的注册商标。杂志每年发行12次，但偶尔有特版发布则不在此限。杂志内容为高质量的关于社会、历史、世界各地的风土人情的文章；其印刷和图片之质量标准也为人们所称道。这也使得该刊成为来自世界各地的摄影新闻记者们梦想发布自己照片的地方。早在20世纪初期，国家地理杂志即已经开始使用一些当时罕见的彩色照片。
National Geographic, formerly the National Geographic Magazine, is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded. It primarily contains articles about science, geography, history, and world culture. The magazine is known for its thick square-bound glossy format with a yellow rectangular border and its extensive use of dramatic photographs. Controlling interest in the magazine has been held by 21st Century Fox since 2015.
The magazine is published monthly, and additional map supplements are also included with subscriptions. It is available in a traditional printed edition and through an interactive online edition. On occasion, special editions of the magazine are issued.
