Siegessäule is a German magazine for the LGBT community based in Berlin. Its name is derived from the Siegessäule (victory column), a monument in Berlin, which is phallically shaped and located near a cruising area in the Tiergarten park.

The first edition of Siegessäule was published in March 1984 by the German group Treffen Berliner Schwulengruppen in the rooms of the Allgemeine Homosexuelle Arbeitsgemeinschaft.

Today the magazine is published by Jackwerth Verlag, which also owns the website of Siegessäule. The free magazine distributed 49,833 copies monthly as of April, 2007. The editor is Holger Wicht and publisher is Reiner Jackwerth.

The magazine sponsors an annual Reader's Choice Award as part of the Teddy Awards, an annual film award for LGBT films screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.
