MISC. Magazine (Trinity College Miscellany) is a student publication in Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1894. It is part of the Trinity Publications stable of student-run newspapers and magazines, and as such its sister publications include Trinity News, Icarus and The Piranha.

Miscellany was first published as a newspaper 'T.C.D. - A College Miscellany' in 1895 and based its title on the defunct 'Kottabos: A College Miscellany', a literary journal published between 1868 and 1895. The magazine has been published under various names since 1979, including New Miscellany, Miscellany and T.C.D. Miscellany. MISC. Magazine is Ireland's oldest student publication showcasing independent perspectives on the political, social and cultural zeitgeist, from Dublin and farther afield.

For most of its history the Miscellany was edited by a different student in each of Trinity's three terms, producing several issues in each, but in recent years the editorship has been passed on annually. Two of which went on to edit The Irish Times, John E. Healy and Alec Newman, edited the magazine in its early years. Other distinguished past editors include William Bedell Stanford, Bruce Arnold, Vivian Mercier, Conor Cruise O'Brien, Paul McGuinness, Shane Ross, Donnell Deeny, Robert Hilliard, Ken Bruen, Damien Kiberd and Ken Early. Contributors over the years include Samuel Beckett, Terence O'Neill, Anthony Clare, David Norris and Leo Varadkar.

Volume 105 was produced as a collaboration between Trinity Publications and University College Dublin Philosophy Society. Two issues were produced which had editors from both institutions and were distributed on both campuses.

The current editor is Aoife Donnellan.
