Boston Magazine was produced in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1783 to 1786.

Minot, Aaron Dexter, John Clarke, John Bradford, Benjamin Lincoln, Christopher Gore, and others.^[1] Publishers included John Norman, James White, Edmund Freeman, and Joseph Greenleaf.^[2] "An interesting feature of The Boston Magazine was the printing of a Geographical Gazetteer of Massachusetts, which came out as a serial number at the end of certain issues. ... In this supplement an account of twenty-one towns in Suffolk County is given."^[1] "The magazine ceased publication with Volume IV for October 1786."^[2]
