Broadsheet was a monthly New Zealand feminist magazine produced in Auckland from 1972 to 1997. The magazine played a significant part in New Zealand women's activism.

It was co-founded by Anne Else and Sandra Coney. The magazine was "New Zealand's first feminist magazine focusing on women's issues and information sharing on a national and international level."

The first issue was released in July 1972, and "consisted of twelve foolscap pages - stapled". 200 copies were produced, which sold out, and before the second issue was published they had 50 paid subscribers.

Māori issues sometimes received considerable coverage in the magazine, which provoked "fierce exchanges in the letters pages".
