"Liahona" (formerly "Tambuli" in the English-language translation) is the official international magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is named after the word Liahona from the Book of Mormon. The "Liahona" is published in 51 different languages from one to twelve times per year depending on the language. The "Liahona" consists of articles for youth, teens, and adults, all of which are published concurrently in the church's "Ensign", "New Era", and "Friend" magazines.

Until the April 1995 edition, the English-language version of the magazine was called "Tambuli"; other language versions of the magazine had different titles. Since 1999, all the languages have adopted some form of the title "Liahona."

"The Liahona" was a weekly newspaper published in Independence, Missouri in 1907. It was collapsed with the "The Elders' Journal" (published in Atlanta, Georgia) into "Liahona, the Elders' Journal" (based in Independence) which ran from 1907-1942. Both focused on LDS news, doctrine and reprints.
