L'Esquella de la Torratxa was an illustrated satirical weekly magazine, written in Catalan.

It began during an officially-decreed suspension of the publication of La Campana de Gràcia, a more overtly political magazine.

Among the most notable article writers for the magazine were Santiago Rusiñol, under the pen name "Xarau", Prudenci Bertrana, Francesc Curet, Antoni Rovira Virgili, Gabriel Alomar and Màrius Aguilar.
