'''''The New-England Magazine''''' was an American monthly literary magazine published in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1831 to 1835.

==Overview== The magazine was published by Joseph T. Buckingham and his son Edwin. The first edition was published in July 1831, and it published a total of 48 editions. After its final issue, in December 1835, the magazine merged with the New York-based ''American Monthly Magazine''.

The magazine has been described as "one of antebellum America's few worthwhile literary journals".<ref>{{cite book |last=Cave |first=Alfred A. |title=The conservative press in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century America |editor=Ronald Lora, William Henry Longton |publisher=Greenwood |year=1999 |series=Historical guides to the world's periodicals and newspapers |page=129 |chapter=New-England Magazine 1831-1835 |isbn=0-313-31043-2 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fRpKaRzq6OMC&pg=PA129}} </ref> Its contributors included Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edward Everett, and Samuel Gridley Howe. Beginning in November 1831, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. included two essays that evolved into his "The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table" series, which became his most popular prose works.<ref>Hoyt, Edwin Palmer.
