Village is an Irish current affairs and cultural magazine. Launched in October 2004 and originally published weekly, it is known for its investigative reporting and describes itself as being "driven by a clearly-stated political agenda and focuses on politics not personalities".[2][3] It was founded, and edited for a number of years by Vincent Browne. In November 2008, it was relaunched under new editor Michael Smith,[4] a former investor in the magazine.[5] The magazine prints ten issues per year and maintains an online presence.

Village is avowedly left-wing, with a stated aim to challenge "the endemically complacent and others by the acute promotion of equality, sustainability and accountability." Journalists who have contributed include Sara Burke, Frank Connolly, John Waters, Justine McCarthy, Gemma O'Doherty, Mary Regan, Naomi Wolf, Conor Brady, Maev-Ann Wren and Harry Browne. Other contributors include Niall Crowley, Constantin Gurdgiev, Germaine Greer, Enda Kenny, Conor Lenihan, and John Gormley.
