Beat is a free monthly tabloid-sized music, arts and culture magazine (street press), website and social media network published and distributed in Melbourne, Australia.

Beat paused its print edition between March 2020-May 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged Victorian lockdowns, but has since resumed publishing.

In May 2022, its editor Lucas Radbourne announced that the print issue had returned, and was available freely again as a monthly magazine.
