Tiempo, also known as El Tiempo and Tiempo de hoy, was a Spanish weekly news magazine published from 1982 to January 2018. It first appeared on 17 May 1982 and was founded by Antonio Asensio Pizarro, who started Grupo Zeta in 1976. Julián Lago was the founding editor-in-chief, and the magazine was based in Madrid.

Tiempo began as a political magazine, but from June 1987 its political content decreased and it began to focus more on culture, entertainment, the economy, and sports, while still covering social issues. It was published by Grupo Zeta every Friday. The company also published Interviu and El Periódico de Catalunya. The magazine targeted Spain’s upper and upper-middle classes and had a reader council. It was considered centrist and sometimes sensationalist; in 2000 the US State Department described it as centrist, though some argued it had a left-liberal tilt.

The last issue appeared in January 2018 and included a selection of significant editorials and past news. Circulation numbers fell over the years: 141,000 in 1994; about 31,680 in 2009; 24,975 in 2011; and around 29,229 in early 2013.
