Computing is a weekly newspaper/magazine published by VNU Business Publications for the United Kingdom computer industry. It is largely a controlled circulation publication, mailed without charge to members of the British Computer Society and other accredited workers in the field of computing. A small minority of issues are sold on newsstands, with the bulk of funding for production arising from advertising.

Computing's readership is audited by BPA Worldwide, which verified its circulation as 115,579 in the period January to June 2005.

The current Editor-in-Chief is Toby Wolpe, son of typeface designer Berthold Wolpe.

With Computer Weekly and IT Week, Computing is the mainstay of the UK computer industry trade press. Historically, Computing was aimed at business-focused readers, with Computer Weekly catering for readers seeking more technical coverage. This distinction blurred and dissolved in the late 1980s, with IT Week filling the gap left in technology-focused business coverage from 1998.
