The Falkland Islands Magazine (from 1908, the Falkland Islands Magazine and Church Paper), was a monthly periodical published in the Falkland Islands between 1889 and 1933. It was the first regular publication in the islands.

The Magazine was established in 1889 by Lowther Edward Brandon, then the Colonial Chaplain to the Falkland Islands, and later Dean of Christ Church Cathedral. It was published monthly, and contained a wide range of material, including local news and personal announcements, as well as commercial advertisements, shipping notices, and church bulletins.

The Magazine ceased publication in 1933. Subsequent Falklands periodicals have included the short-lived The Penguin (c. 1929-30), the Falkland Islands weekly news (active 1940s), the Falkland Islands monthly review (active 1950s-60s), and the current Penguin News, published weekly since 1979. In addition, there is an annually-published historical journal, the Falkland Islands Journal (1967 onwards), and a twice-yearly Falkland Islands newsletter, published by the UK-based Falkland Islands Association.
