Studio Magazine, founded by Gertrude Jekyll in London in 1893 was an early 20th century illustrated magazine published in Britain.

Joseph Pennell's article and the illustrations to Wilde's Salome in the Studio Magazine in April 1893 gave Beardsley his first taste of public fame.

The following passage in Nevile Shute's 1927 novel So Disdained captures the nature of the magazine and the influence it had on British people at the time:

"Lord Arner had in his library all the bound volumes of Studio since the beginning. When he was worried or upset over anything he used to go in there and sit down beside the fire, and turn these volumes over slowly. When he came to a picture that he liked he would sit staring at it for a long time without moving. He liked water-colour reproductions best, I think, and especially garden sketches, water colours of herbaceous borders, and paintings with delicate, bright colours. Sometimes he would pass the heavy volume across when he found a drawing that he particularly admired."

Gabriel Mourey was the French correspondent of The Studio in Paris.
