The Living Greyhawk Journal was a periodical published by the Role-Playing Games Association (RPGA) as a stand-alone magazine from August 2000 (#0) to July 2001 (#5). The publication was intended to supplement the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign, though many consider the content within to be canon for the Greyhawk setting in general.

The first six issues (#0-5) were stand-alone magazines, but later issues were inside Dragon and Dungeon magazines at the back of each issue. Living Greyhawk Journals #6-20 were in Dragon issues 290-302, 304, and 306. Living Greyhawk Journals #21-24 were in Dungeon issues 98, 103-104, and 106.

Issue #5 was greatly delayed in its publishing. It was originally set to be published in July of 2001, but due to "transfers, reorganizations, disorganizations, and worse." it was not published until March 2002. Issues #6-9 were published in the interim in Dragon magazine, but the RPGA still mailed the last standalone issue to all members who'd had a subscription when the issue was supposed to have been published even if their membership had since expired.
