Only is a free Canadian bi-monthly news and entertainment magazine published in Vancouver, British Columbia by the Only Trust - who also organize Vancouver's Music Waste Festival and Victory Square Block Party. The paper has a circulation of 10,000 in the Vancouver area. Its first issue ran on October 8th, 2004.

Only Magazine was founded just days before its inaugural issue after the publisher/editor Darren Atwater was fired from the Vancouver weekly Terminal City that he had started over a decade before. In solidarity, many of the Terminal City staff walked out and formed Only Magazine. In an editorial about the takeover that appeared in issue 1, the Only staff writes:

We had a dream of a weekly newspaper that covered the real artists and musicians in Vancouver, that made the mainstream newspapers wince every week, and maybe, just maybe, made life free from soulless consumerism a little more realistic for everyone.

Only Magazine focuses heavily on covering the fringes of Vancouver's creative communities, but often run interviews with touring bands such as Deerhoof, Wolf Eyes, Black Dice and Erase Errata. Most articles are written with a sense of irreverence and poignant satire that is often criticized as overly critical which has caused a number of controversies in the magazine's short life.

In February 2007, after 60 issues the print magazine was put on hiatus for restructuring. The magazine continues all of its editorial online at onlymagazine.ca.

In March 2007, Only Magazine launched its first all Vancouver music podcast and a widget to countdown the days until the supposed 2010 Olympic riot.

The magazine's cover is often done by Vancouver artists and students from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design.
