Dennis Publishing Ltd. is one of the world’s leading independent publishers. Founded in 1974, the group consists of a number of operating companies in both the UK and USA, with a turnover exceeding £200 million a year^{[citation needed]}.

The company publishes 19 magazines in the UK (including MacUser, Maxim, Auto Express, Computer Shopper, PC Pro, Viz, Fortean Times, PokerPlayer magazine and The Week) and four titles in the US (Maxim, Stuff, Blender and The Week). Maxim is published in 21 editions in 32 countries.

Dennis Publishing is owned by Felix Dennis.

Dennis himself started out in the magazine business in the late 1960s as one of the editors of the counterculture magazine OZ. In the mid-70s, Dennis Publishing was born, beginning with a kung-fu magazine.

Dennis followed this up in the early 1980s by publishing titles in the soon-to-be-lucrative computer enthusiast sector, including Your Spectrum (re-named later as Your Sinclair and sold to Future Publishing). Dennis has since maintained a foothold in the computer magazine business - until Maxim's success in the US in the late 1990s, computer magazines were the mainstay of Dennis' magazine holdings, second only to Future Publishing in the UK.
