Family Circle is an American women's magazine published 15 times a year by Meredith Corporation. It is, by many accounts, the best-selling women's magazine in America, with more than 4,000,000 subscribers and an advertising "reach" of roughly 20,000,000. It began publication in 1932. It was formerly published by The New York Times.

The magazine is considered one of the "seven sisters," a group of seven women-oriented magazines, with the others being Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens, Woman's Day, and Redbook.[1]

Family Circle also sponsors the Family Circle Cup in the Family Circle Magazine Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, a WTA tennis tournament which is the only Tier I clay court tournament in the United States.
