DJ Magazine (also known as DJ Mag) is a British monthly magazine dedicated to electronic dance music and DJs.
Founded in 1991, the magazine is adapted for distribution in UK, USA, Spain, France, Italy, Latin America, China, South Korea, Indonesia and The Netherlands.

An earlier version of the magazine appeared towards the end of the 1980's when it was then known as Disc Jockey Magazine the name was then changed to Jocks Magazine however this name was quickly dropped and the publication underwent re-branding. After this process the first issue of DJ Magazine or DJ Mag launched in the middle of 1991.
It was initially produced as weekly publication with Chris Mellor as its first editor the magazine at this point was already the UK's top-selling disc jockey magazine'.

The first edition featured artists such as Frankie Knuckles, the Ragga Twins. In 1992 the magazine decided to switch to bi-weekly publishing due to increasing workload which would remain in place till 2008. During the first two years it was in operation the editorial staff of the magazine voted on whom it considered as DJ of the Year initially this was a short list however this was later expanded to become a Top 100 list that was appeared in the magazines 100th edition on the 21st October 1993.

In 1994 the band Underworld featured on the cover due in part to their breakthrough album other artists featured this year included established names like Armand van Helden, Erick Morillo, but also new breakthrough dj's such as DJ Rap. By the summer of 1995, the magazine began to regularly feature Ibiza due its increasing popularity with as a clubbing destination, the magazine also set-up stall at the Winter Music Conference held in Miami, United States. In 1997, the magazine featured new British house duo Basement Jaxx on its front page. Artists appearing on the cover of the magazine towards the end of the 1990’s included the likes of Jeff Mills, Deep Dish, Orbital, Laurent Garnier, and Danny Tenaglia.

In 1999, the magazine would feature DJ's on its front page exploring the rise of Trance Music. The publication wrote extensively about the use of drugs and its prevalence within the dance music scene.

Beginning in late 2000, the magazine launched its first pilot website. By November 2000, Highbury House Communications had bought the magazines publishers Nexus, and the magazine moved its editorial offices to Kentish Town, North London. In 2001 dance music journalist Lesley Wright, who was then editor of Scottish dance publication M8 magazine was hired to replace Chris Mellor as Editor-in-Chief after 10 years running the editorial staff.
