"CQ Amateur Radio" (also known simply as "CQ" or "CQ magazine") is a magazine for amateur radio enthusiasts. The magazine has a worldwide readership base for its English language edition. A Spanish language edition is published in Spain with some translations of articles from the English language edition and some original European content.

Since its inception in 1945, CQ has published over thirty paperback books that address most major aspects of the amateur radio hobby.

"CQ Amateur Radio" is not associated with the similarly-named Japanese magazine "CQ ham radio".
