CD-ROM Today was an American magazine targeted to computer users. Published from 1994 to 1996 by Imagine Publishing (now Future US), the magazine was initially issued once every other month, before being changed to a monthly. Each issue included software and hardware reviews, as well as a CD containing fonts, video and text files, system updaters, shareware and demo versions of commercial software. Products were included for both Macintosh and Windows PC.

At one point, CD-ROM Today was the highest-selling review magazine for both Macintosh and PC users.[1] In 1996, after twenty-five issues,[2] the magazine was discontinued, with two newer publications replacing it: MacAddict for Macintosh users, and boot for Windows users.[1] Both magazines were first issued in August 1996[3] and are still in circulation to this day, although they have since been renamed Mac|Life and Maximum PC, respectively.
