The Quietus is a British online music and pop culture magazine founded by John Doran and Luke Turner.

The site is an editorially independent publication led by Doran with a group of freelance journalists and critics.

The Quietus primarily features writings on music and films, as well as interviews with a wide range of notable artists and musicians.

The magazine also occasionally includes pieces on literature, graphic novels, architecture, and TV series.

The website is edited by John Doran, who claims that it caters for "the intelligent music fan between the age of 21 and, well, 73".
