Monocle is a magazine and Web site founded by Tyler Brûlé, a Canadian journalist and entrepreneur. Described by CBC News reporter Harry Forestell as a "meeting between Foreign Policy and Vanity Fair", the magazine purports to provide a globalist perspective on international affairs to wealthy, cosmopolitan readers. Andrew Tuck edits the magazine.

The magazine launched on February 15, 2007, priced at 12 euros and featuring articles on subjects including the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force, Chinese investment in Africa, and the best Portuguese-language Sunday newspapers. In the United States, single issues sell for $10 each and the subscription price is $150 annually (10 issues). The publisher claims the unusual 50 percent markup for subscription covers mail delivery and enhanced web content.
