L'Action nationale (ISSN 0001-7469) is a French-language monthly published in Quebec, Canada.
The magazine publishes critical analyses of Quebec's linguistic, social, cultural and economic realities. Since 1917, approximately 17,000 authors have appeared in it, including such Quebec intellectuals such as André Laurendeau, Pierre Vadeboncoeur, Pierre Trudeau, Lionel Groulx, Marcel Rioux, Richard Ares, Fernand Dumont and Esdras Minville.
At first a Catholic-Nationalist publication, L'Action nationale moved to a secular, separatist stance, and became one of the main inspirations for Québécois nationalism in the 1960s, the decade that saw the Quiet Revolution and the first successes of the Parti québécois.
