Y'all magazine is an American magazine based out of Oxford, Mississippi, literary hub^{[citation needed]} of the American South. It is published bimonthly with a circulation of 100,000 and features Southern celebrities, events and ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. According to the magazine's mySpace page, "Y'all covers the South's 15 states and its 103 million people, just like kudzu."[1] The magazine can be found on newstands at locations throughout the South.

Y'all was founded in 2003 by Jon Rawl when he noticed that there was an absence of magazines devoted to Southerners, their culture and interests. The first issue of Y'all appeared on newsstands in November 2003, featuring New Orleans-born Harry Connick, Jr., on the cover. The magazine has covered Food Network personality Paula Deen, the NASCAR, humorist Lewis Grizzard, and performer Miley Cyrus.

The magazine was named by Folio magazine as one of the top 30 launches of 2003 out of 950 magazines.^{[citation needed]}
