Teknisk Tidskrift (1871 – March 1872 Illustrerad Teknisk Tidning) was founded in 1871 by Swedish marine engineer Wilhelm Hoffstedt (1841–1907).
A forerunner to Ny Teknik, it has since its establishment been considered one of the leading journals in Sweden for the publication of findings in technology and engineering.
These specialized sections representing the various departments of the Swedish Teknologföreningen reflected the educational structure of the Royal Institute of Technology.
In the autumn of 1967, the name of the weekly edition was changed to Ny Teknik which had a more popular scientific format.
