Swank is a pornographic magazine for heterosexual men published in the United States. It includes hardcore sex, such as the use of sex toys, girl-girl sex, and sexual intercourse between men and women.

There are also a series of DVDs and an official website produced under the Swank name.

Swank is owned by the Magna Publishing Group, which publishes a number of other adult magazines, including:

  • Velvet
  • Genesis, which focuses on porn stars
  • Swank Extreme, which is billed as showing more extreme hardcore sex
  • Gent
  • Hometown Girls
  • various others

The Magna Publishing Group's website includes the claim that Swank has been established for "well over 65 years". A magazine called "Swank" was founded by Fox Features Comics founder Victor Fox in the 1940's. This early version of the magazine was a knockoff of Esquire, but eventually evolved to its current format. The magazine has had breaks in publication of several years during its history, so the "over 65 years" claim may be disputed by some media historians.

In The Simpsons, the episode when Principal Skinner is found to be an impostor, in his seedy hotel room, Homer asks to look at his copy of Swank after Skinner lists the meager possessions he has - ("Armand's peas, Armand's copy of "Swank"...)
