L’Aérophile ("The Aerophile") was a French aviation magazine published from 1893 to 1947.

[3] Important developments in early aviation were documented in its pages: Historian Charles Gibbs-Smith criticised L’Aérophile for not publishing the official report on the tests of Clément Ader’s 1897 Avion III when this report was finally made public in 1910, and thus failing to oppose the claim that Ader's machine had made a controlled flight in 1897.

[15] Starting at the end of 1898 it was the official journal of the Aero Club of France.

In later years it was also an official publication of the alumni association (Association des anciens élèves) of the French national aeronautical college (École nationale supérieure de l'aéronautique).
