Next Generation was an American multiplatform video game magazine focusing on industry news and trends, published by Imagine Media. The magazine was relaunched in September 1999 as NextGen.

Next Generation was one of the few wide-distribution magazines that covered the game industry itself rather than individual products was targeted towards an adult audience. As a result, the magazine had a cross-over audience that included game professionals and the general public and influential in shaping discussions of the video game medium.

Next Generation and NextGen were affiliated with Edge, a British magazine also owned by Future plc.
