The Monthly Monthly was a science fiction fanzine published in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The Monthly Monthly appeared in October 1979, with six editors at the helm. Rosanne Charest, Michael S. Hall, Christine Kulyk, Robert Runte, David Vereschagin and Bob Weir all contributed and took turns editing the issues. The first issue was edited by Christine Kulyk.

Artwork was by David Vereschagin.

Contributors included Bill Beard, who wrote the regular column, "Stuttered Motion".

12 issues were published, until the first year anniversary month was missed. After that, it became The Bi-Monthly Monthly, and two more issues were releases; issue 13 in November 1980, and the final issue, 14, in January 1981.
