Tell Magazine is a weekly magazine published in Nigeria.

Tell magazine published its first edition on 15 April 1991. All five of the founding editors had worked at Newswatch, where they learned to create in-depth, investigative feature stories. They left that magazine due to low pay and disagreements with senior management, hoping that the new magazine would be more fulfilling. Although the magazine’s founders had high ambitions, they were not initially hostile to the government. However, they were determined to be free of government or political influence.

In 2007, BBC News described Tell Magazine as “one of Nigeria’s most respected business magazines”.
