`Doctor Who Magazine` (formerly Doctor Who Weekly), is currently a four-weekly periodical that publishes Doctor Who news, reviews, articles and comic stories. Originally launched by Marvel UK Doctor Who Weekly, began publication in October 1979 before later being sold to Panini Publishing Ltd.

Over the years, the title of `Doctor Who Magazine` has changed slightly. Each of the name changes have been subtle, and very broadly speaking reflect a change of editor and direction for the title. Continuity however remains intact throughout.

`Doctor Who Magazine` has also contributed, throughout its various regular and special issues, to the continuation of the Doctor's comic strip adventures, helping to make it the longest running ongoing comic strip related to a television series in the world.

The TARDIS Index Files uses the prefix DWM to refer to fiction (in comic or prose form) printed in this publication.
