ICARUS is a scientific journal dedicated to the field of planetary science.

It is officially endorsed by the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS).

Its original owner and publisher was Academic Press, which was purchased by Elsevier in 2000.

The journal is named for the mythical Icarus, and the frontispiece of every issue contains an extended quotation from Sir Arthur Eddington equating Icarus' adventurousness with the scientific investigator who "strains his theories to the breaking-point till the weak joints gape.
