Computer Shopper is a monthly home computing magazine published in the United States.

A magazine called Computer Shopper is also published in the United Kingdom. Aside from sharing a name, the two are unrelated.

The magazine at one time held the record of being the heaviest magazine, totalling well over 800 pages per issue on a large 10" x 15" format. Most of these were advertisements for mail order computer & computer parts stores. Since the rise of the world wide web and online ordering the magazine has shrunk a great deal, although it still features reviews of over 300 products per issue.

On February 6, 2006, Computer Shopper was bought out by SX2 Media Labs, so it is no longer run by internet-based CNET. The magazine does, however, still have a strong parnership with CNET.
