The Judge was a magazine published in the United States of America around the turn of the century. It was formed in 1881 by artists who had seceded from Puck Magazine. The founders included:

• James Albert Wales , a cartoonist
• Frank Tousey , publisher of dime novels
• George H. Jessop , an author

The first printing of Judge was in October 29, 1881. It was sixteen pages long and printed on quarto paper. While it did well initially, it soon had trouble competing with its rival, Puck.
