Critical Inquiry is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal in the humanities published by the University of Chicago Press on behalf of the Department of English Language and Literature (University of Chicago).

While the topics and historical periods it covers are diverse, the journal is known as a long-standing, highly regarded critical theory driven venue for interpretive scholarship, especially but not exclusively in literature and textual criticism.

It was established in 1974 by Wayne Booth, Arthur Heiserman, and Sheldon Sacks.

Since June 2020 it is co-edited by Bill Brown and Frances Ferguson.
