The Cheese Grater is an investigative and satirical student publication at University College London. It is published by Students' Union UCL through the Cheese Grater Magazine Society, an affiliated student society that also operates the sketch comedy group UCL Graters, and feminist zine Women's Wrongs.

The Cheese Grater reports on campus news and student politics, and publishes satire that is often critical of the university and the students' union. It prints at least three times a year, with free copies distributed across campus. Since 2024, it also publishes a biweekly newsletter, hosts a weekly segment on Rare FM, and breaks news stories online during term time.

Despite being founded as an alternative to the historically mainstream Pi Magazine, The Cheese Grater has become UCL's largest publication both by readership and online following. The Cheese Grater has won 'Publication of the Year' at Students' Union UCL's annual Arts Awards 10 times since 2004, and was twice named 'Best Publication in London' by the Student Publication Association in 2022 and 2025.
