The English Historical Review is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal that was established in 1886^[1] and published by Oxford University Press (formerly by Longman). It publishes articles on all aspects of history – British, European, and world history – since the classical era. It is the oldest surviving English language academic journal in the discipline of history.

Six issues are currently published each year, and typically include at least six articles from a broad chronological range (roughly, medieval, early modern, modern and twentieth century) and around forty book reviews. The journal has (as of 2023) introduced a new section entitled Reflections, which includes historiographical essays, review articles, and assessments of the contributions of individual scholars to the field. It also aims to publish one Forum collection each year. ^[2]

The journal was established in 1886 by John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, Regius professor of modern history at Cambridge, and a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford.^[3] The first editor was Mandell Creighton. The current editors are Nandini Chatterjee, Alex Middleton, Jan Rüger, Hannah Skoda, and Alice Taylor.^[4]
