Historical Materialism is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal focused on the study of Marxist philosophy, historical materialism, political science, economics, modern society, and human history using a Marxist approach.

Currently it is affiliated with the SOAS University of London.

Starting from 2008, the journal organizes an annual conference and a book series.
