Starlog was an American monthly science fiction magazine that was created in 1976 and focused primarily on Star Trek at its inception.

The primary focus of the magazine, besides the fact that it was mostly based on Star Trek fandom, was the making of science fiction media — books, films, and television series - and the work that went into these creations.

In the mid-1970s, Kerry O'Quinn and his high school friend David Houston talked about creating a magazine that would cover science fiction films and television programs.

Houston's editorial assistant, Kirsten Russell, suggested that they include an episode guide to all three seasons of the show, interviews with the cast, and previously unpublished photographs.

O'Quinn realized they could create a magazine that featured only Star Trek content, but without its being the focus, and thereby circumvent the royalties issue.

While the cover featured Captain Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise, and the issue contained a "Special Collector's Section" on Star Trek, other science fiction topics were also discussed, such as The Bionic Woman and Space: 1999.

This included exclusive interviews with John Carpenter, Peter Cushing, George Lucas, Harlan Ellison, Leonard Nimoy, and Gene Roddenberry.

The folding of the print edition was officially announced on April 8, 2009, with the unpublished issue promised in the near future as a web-only publication.
