Biography: An Interdisciplinary Quarterly is an international, academic journal that provides a forum for biographical scholarship.

Its articles explore the theoretical, generic, historical, and cultural dimensions of life-writing; and the integration of literature, history, the arts, and the social sciences as they relate to biography.

For several years Professor Donald James Winslow of the University of Boston was the magazine's bibliographer.

In 1994, the editorship passed to Craig Howes at the University of Hawaii, who gradually expanded the content and instigated a redesign in 1999.

From volume 22 (1999), the first issue of each year has contained a collection of articles on a particular theme, the first one serving as a Festschrift for George Simson.
