Locus Solus was a journal of experimental poetry and prose that published four issues in 1961 and 1962, one a double issue. The magazine was edited by the poets John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and James Schuyler, all of whom contributed content. It was published by Harry Mathews in France. They were all members of the OULIPO which was a French writing society. The society focused on complex word games and the surreal.

The journal was named after the novel Locus Solus by Raymond Roussel.
