Condé Montrose Nast (March 26, 1873 – September 19, 1942) was an American publisher, entrepreneur and business magnate.

He founded Condé Nast, a mass media company, and published titles such as Vanity Fair, Vogue and The New Yorker.

Named after his uncle, Condé Montrose Nast was born in New York City to a family of Midwestern origin.

He then turned Vanity Fair into a sophisticated general-interest publication, with the help of his friend Frank Crowninshield, who was editor and a major influence for more than 20 years.

While other publishers simply focused on increasing the number of magazines in circulation, Nast targeted groups of readers by income level or common interest.

Among his staff were Edna Woolman Chase, who served as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley.
