Computerworld (abbreviated as CW) is an ongoing[7] decades-old professional publication which in 2014 "went digital."[2] Its audience is information technology (IT) and business technology professionals,[8] and is available via a publication website and as a digital magazine.

As a printed weekly during the 1970s and into the 1980s, Computerworld was the leading trade publication in the data processing industry.[9][10] Based on circulation and revenue it was one of the most successful trade publications in any industry.[9] Later in the 1980s it began to lose its dominant position.[10]

It is published in many countries around the world under the same or similar names. Each country's version of Computerworld includes original content and is managed independently. The parent company of Computerworld US is IDG Communications.
