The American Missionary was a magazine on religious and missionary issues (including racial issues). It was published in the late 19th and early 20th century by the American Missionary Association (and sometimes by various Congregational missionary societies).

The American Missionary began publication in 1846. Volume numbering restarted at 1 in 1857, and also seems to have reset (possibly to count pre-1857 volumes) sometime in the late 1870s. No issue or contribution copyright renewals were found for this serial. The American Missionary ceased publication with the March 1934 issue.
