The first Esperanto magazine was La Esperantisto, which began publication on September 1, 1889. It continued publication until 1895. Magazines were important to the early Esperanto movement, as it was one of the practical ways the language could be used between conferences such as the annual Universal Congress. Since then there have been hundreds of magazines published in Esperanto. Some of the most well-known magazines published in Esperanto currently are:
- Esperanto - a monthly publication of the Universal Esperanto Association
- Fonto - a monthly magazine about literature
- Heroldo de Esperanto - a magazine published every three weeks about the Esperanto movement
- Kontakto - a monthly publication for young people published by TEJO, the World Esperanto Youth Organization
- Monato - a monthly publication similar to Time or Newsweek, but with all articles written by people from the place which the article is about
- El Popola Ĉinio - perhaps the most visually appealing Esperanto magazine
- Rok-Gazet' - a magazine about the Esperanto music (especially rock music) scene
- La Ondo de Esperanto - an illustrated Esperanto periodical published monthly in the Russian Baltic Sea enclave of Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg)
- Irana Esperantisto - an independent quarterly culture magazine, which is published in Esperanto and in Persian in Tehran and distributed internationally; besides, about half of the content of each edition is in Esperanto and the other half in Persian.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, esperanto and/or magazines:
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
