Dengeki Hobby Magazine (電撃ホビーマガジン, Dengeki Hobī Magajin) was a Japanese magazine under the Dengeki Hobby brand published by ASCII Media Works (formerly MediaWorks) centering on information relating to plastic models and toys. It first went on sale on 25 November 1998. There was a Chinese version published by Ching Win Publishing, Taiwan.[1]

On 14 December 2007, "Super Modelers," a model store in Akihabara that was produced by this magazine with the participation of Arclight, Wave, Chara-Ani, and Media Works, opened, but closed less than two years later.[citation needed]

On 21 May 2015 it was announced that the magazine would end its print publication with the July 2015 issue,[2] shifting to an online presence as Dengeki Hobby Web.[3]
