DragonLords, subtitled "Yet Another Fantasy & Sci-Fi Roleplaying Magazine", is a British role-playing game fanzine from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Self-published originally by Marc Gascoigne, Mike Lewis, and Ian Marsh, DragonLords produced 22 issues from c. 1978 to 1985.

Originally solely focused on Dungeons & Dragons, the fanzine came to include reviews, articles about computer games, and a regular column about the strategic board game Diplomacy.

DragonLords was a "well-regarded fanzine" that helped two of the three editors attain editorial positions with the British manufacturer of miniature wargames, Games Workshop.[1]
