"Sega Magazine" redirects here. For the Japanese magazine, see Sega Magazine (Japan).

The UK version of the Sega Magazine was a monthly magazine devoted to the many Sega consoles of the early 1990s, including the Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive (plus Sega Mega-CD and Sega 32X accessories), Sega Game Gear and eventually Sega Saturn. What would make this magazine stand out was the official license from Sega, giving the magazine access to information quicker than its rivals.

At the end of 1995 the magazine was rebranded as the official Sega Saturn Magazine.
