Template:Infobox Newspaper National Review ("NR") is a conservative/libertarian political magazine founded by author William F. Buckley Jr., in 1955. The magazine is based in New York City and is published biweekly.

In its inaugural issue, Buckley wrote that the magazine "stands athwart history yelling 'Stop,' at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it." After it gained prominence, Buckley would revel in the magazine's influence, knowing that conservative public office holders such as Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater were reading his magazine.

Fifty years after its founding, National Review is considered by many to be one of the United States' most politically influential publications. It is widely quoted by television and radio commentators of varying political stripes, who either reference articles as points for establishing arguments or take issue with what is found within the magazine's pages.

A popular feature of National Review is the web version of the magazine, National Review Online ("NRO"), which includes a digital version of the magazine, with articles updated daily by National Review writers, and conservative blogs. The Online version is called the NRO to distinguish it from the paper magazine (referred to as "NRODT" or National Review On Dead Tree.) Each day, the site posts new content comprised of conservative opinion articles. It also features "The Corner," a weblog with postings from many of the site's editors and affiliated writers discussing the issues of the day and nine other weblogs. The site's editor is Kathryn Jean Lopez, known to the NRO community as "K-Lo".
