Hobart is an American literary magazine that publishes fiction, poetry, interviews, and essays. Founded as an online magazine in 2001, Hobart grew into a biannual print magazine in 2003. The founding editor was Aaron Burch. Past issues have been dedicated to topics such as luck, the outdoors, and games. In addition to print and web content, in 2006 Hobart added a book division (Short Flight/Long Drive Books), with Elizabeth Ellen as editor. In October 2022, Burch and most of the editors resigned after Ellen published an interview with writer Alex Perez where Perez engaged in right-wing talking points about "wokeness".
Several pieces appearing in Hobart have received awards or were selected for anthologies: recent selections include Roxane Gay's story “North Country” and Mike Meginnis' “Navigators” that were selected for The Best American Short Stories 2012 .
