Rolling Stone Australia / New Zealand is the Australian and New Zealand edition of the United States' Rolling Stone magazine devoted to music, politics, and popular culture, published monthly. The Australian version of Rolling Stone was initially published in 1970 as a supplement in Revolution magazine published by Monash University student Phillip Frazer. It was launched as a fully fledged magazine in 1972 by Frazer and was the longest-surviving international edition of Rolling Stone until its last issue appeared in January 2018.
As of November 2019, Rolling Stone Australia returned with a physical and digital platform published by The Brag Media, now as Vinyl Media, in an exclusive licensing deal with Rolling Stone owner Penske Media Corporation.
In 2022, The Brag expanded to New Zealand and rebranded the magazine as Rolling Stone Australia / New Zealand. Although separate websites were set up for Australia and New Zealand, the print publication is identical for both countries.
