"Flagpole Magazine", often abbreviated to simply "Flagpole", is an alternative newsweekly that focuses on the cultural scene of Athens, Georgia and its surrounding communities. It was founded by Jared Bailey in 1984 and is currently edited and published by Pete McCommons. The publication covers local music, politics, news, features and news related to the town that is also the home of the University of Georgia. Although nationwide delivery to paid subscribers is available, it is distributed free of charge to over 275 locations throughout the Athens area, earning the bulk of its revenue through the sale of advertising space.

In addition to its weekly issues, Flagpole, Inc. also publishes the annual "Flagpole Guide to Athens", a listing of bars, restaurants, and entertainment options in Athens. It also is distributed free throughout the area.
