''[[The South African Journal]]'' was a 19th century Cape Town magazine. (Sometimes written simply ''[[South African Journal]]''.)

Founded in Cape Town in 1824 by [[Thomas Pringle]] and [[John Fairbairn]], it was the first English-language magazine in the colony. A magazine, which like their other joint project, the ''[[The South African Commercial Advertiser]]'', was to provide a vivid overview of life at the Cape in those years, and would also suffer suppression and censorship from the Colonial government.

A valuable source on 19th century Cape Town politics, life and culture, it published regular theatre reviews and advertisements for theatre productions, invaluable sources for theatre historians.
