Critical Inquiry is a peer-reviewed academic journal in the humanities published by the University of Chicago Press. It is considered a leading journal within literary studies, and particularly in the field of critical theory.

The journal was founded in 1974 by Wayne Booth, Arthur Heiserman and Sheldon Sacks, and is currently edited by W. J. T. Mitchell. The journal has been the site of a number of important debates within literary studies. It was where Stanley Fish published his article "Interpreting the Variorum", in which he proposed his idea of interpretive communities, as well as where M. H. Abrams and J. Hillis Miller had a well-known debate about deconstruction. It was also where Jacques Derrida published his essay in memory of Paul de Man.

The journal is known for having a particularly well-known set of editors and editorial board, including Lauren Berlant, Bill Brown, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Arnold Davidson, Elizabeth Helsinger, Françoise Meltzer, Richard Neer and Joel Snyder as editors, and Stanley Fish, Fredric Jameson, Homi K. Bhabha and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. as members of the editorial board. Edward Said was on the editorial board until his death.
