Rock Hard (also RockHard) is a German music magazine published in Dortmund, with additional language editions in various countries worldwide, including France, Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, and Greece.

The magazine focuses on hard rock and heavy metal, offering content such as reports, interviews, specials, reviews, and news.

Since 1990, magazine staff have also organized the Rock Hard Festival, which has been held annually in Gelsenkirchen over the Pentecost weekend since 2003.

[5] Rock Hard maintained its own music streaming channel on the internet video portal Putpat.tv.

[7][8] This development was a response to declining sales of the printed magazine, a trend that has impacted all music publications in Germany in recent years and has also compelled Rock Hard to "concentrate on the core business,"[9] utilizing the online sector for marketing and supplementary services.
