Island is a quarterly literary publication produced in Hobart. Originally titled The Tasmanian Review, it was founded in 1979 as place for Tasmanian writers and writers from elsewhere to publish new work. The magazine has changed names twice; to Island Magazine (1981) and then to Island (1990).
Island publishes short stories, poetry, essays, interviews, photographs and graphics. Over its history, the magazine has published authors of significance, both Australian and international, including Les Murray, Dorothy Porter, Seamus Heaney, Tim Winton, Frank Moorhouse, and Olga Masters.
The magazine is a not-for-profit operation. Founded by Michael Denholm, Andrew Sant and Tim Thorne, its board has attracted significant members of Australian literary circles, including Cassandra Pybus, Richard Flanagan, and Rodney Croome. The managing editor as of 2016 is Vern Field.
