The Stormtrooper Magazine, also called The Stormtrooper or Stormtrooper, was the quarterly official publication of the American Nazi Party, a neo-Nazi group founded by George Lincoln Rockwell. The magazine was published in Arlington County, Virginia, the United States, between 1962 and 1968. Contents included illustrations, editorials from Rockwell, and recaps of the activities of the World Union of National Socialists. The periodical succeeded the ANP's earlier outlet, the National Socialist Bulletin. It was one of several periodicals run by the ANP: while the others were aimed at more sophisticated audiences, The Stormtrooper was the more general periodical, and was far more sensationalized.

The party had several editors throughout its life, but for several years it was edited by ANP member John Patler, until he was kicked out of the group in March 1967. In August 1967, Patler assassinated Rockwell. Afterwards, publication of the magazine ceased in 1968, and it was replaced as official party outlet by another periodical, entitled White Power.
