New York Review of Books is a USA magazine covering Books and Literature.

The New York Review of Books has been described by Esquire magazine as "the premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language." It was founded in 1963 by Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein. Their purpose was to create a new kind of magazine in which "the most interesting and qualified minds of our time would discuss current books and issues in depth." Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein continued as co-editors of the Review until Epstein's death in 2006. Robert Silvers then became the sole editor until he died in 2017.

The New York Review has published articles by such writers as W.H. Auden, Hannah Arendt, Joan Didion, Edmund Wilson, Susan Sontag, Robert Penn Warren, Lilian Hellman, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Saul Bellow, Robert Lowell, Truman Capote, William Styron, Timothy Garton Ash, Woody Allen, Jean-Paul Sartre and Mary McCarthy. It has a worldwide circulation of over 135,000.

It is one of the best American media outlets, according to Mondo Times members.
