The Drift is an American magazine of literature, culture, and politics. It was called "the lit mag of the moment" in a 2022 New York Times Sunday Styles cover story.

The Drift has published cultural criticism, short fiction, poetry, essays, and commentary by young writers since its June 2020 founding. According to editors Kiara Barrow and Rebecca Panovka, the magazine's "guiding light" are the early 20th century radical magazines The Masses and The Liberator, which featured socialist and feminist writers and illustrators. The magazine's first four issues, released in the first year-and-a-half of the COVID-19 pandemic, were online-only; since September 2021 each issue has been published in print and online. The magazine hosts readings and parties in New York City to celebrate the release of every print issue. Print copies of The Drift are sold in bookstores including McNally Jackson and Barnes & Noble.

Issues of The Drift include an editors' note, an interview with a prominent writer or scholar, argument-driven essays, poems, short stories, and Mentions, a section of "extremely abbreviated reviews." The essays are typically divided into two juxtaposed categories, such as "Hidden" and "In Plain Sight," that vary by issue.
