Hiragana Times (ひらがな タイムズ) is a popular national magazine in Japan. The Hiragana Times is unique in that all the articles are written in both English and Japanese, with no one bias between the languages.

The name of the magazine comes from the fact that all kanji in the magazine have hiragana translations adjacent (called furigana), allowing more novice readers (originally meant to be expatriates, although the magazine could very well be aimed at any Japanese or English student) to comprehend the articles in both languages.

The magazine is published monthly and publishes articles of cultural importance to Japanese readers, with some American and British stories mixed in.
