Screw is a pornographic online magazine published in the United States aimed at heterosexual men; it was originally published as a weekly tabloid newspaper.

The publication, which was described as "raunchy, obnoxious, usually disgusting, and sometimes political",[1] was a pioneer in bringing hardcore pornography into the American mainstream during the late 1960s and early 1970s.[2][3][4] Founder Al Goldstein won a series of nationally significant court cases addressing obscenity.[5] At its peak, Screw sold 140,000 copies a week.[6][7]
