The Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt is an academic journal (ISSN 0065-9991) published by the American Research Center in Egypt. It was established in 1962 to publish research into the art, archaeology, languages, history, and social systems of the Egyptian people. As is usual for Egyptological journals, it accepts articles written in English, French, or German. Over the years a number of Egyptologists have served as editor-in-chief. Since 2008, the editor is Eugene Cruz-Uribe (California State University, Monterey Bay).

—Bill Clinton (b. 1946)
