Fiction is a popular magazine of international imaginative writing.

It was founded in 1972 by Mark Jay Mirsky, Donald Barthelme, and Max Frisch.Since then it has been published out of the City College of New York.

In its early years, "Fiction" was published in a tabloid format and featured highly experimental and daring work by such writers as John Barth, Italo Calvino, Ronald Sukenick, Steve Katz, Russell Banks, Samuel Beckett and J.G. Ballard. It later took the format of a more traditional paperback literary magazine, publishing short works by Reinaldo Arenas, Isaac Babel, Donald Barthelme, Mei Chin, Julio Cortazar, Marguerite Duras, Natalia Ginzburg, Clarice Lispector, Robert Musil, Joyce Carol Oates, Manuel Puig, and John Yau.

Though the magazine ostensibly focuses on publishing fiction, as its name implies, it has recently also featured excerpts from Robert Musil's diaries and letters, as well as various writings with an autobiographical slant.
