The Cane Toad Times was a satirical humour magazine based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was first published in the late 1970s, then revived under the same name by a new team from 1983 to 1990. It was relaunched in October 2024 as paper publication, sold online and in some Brisbane stores.
The two versions shared personnel and featured roughly the same counter-cultural philosophy, irreverent journalism, strident opinion and fondness for satire, cartoons and popular culture. The editors and contributors of The Cane Toad Times were motivated by opposition to political events and attitudes in Queensland under the Bjelke-Petersen Government (1968–1987).
The first issue of The Cane Toad Times was published in May 1977 and thereafter more or less quarterly, with 22 issues divided between two collectives. The first collective (1977–1979) produced 7 issues, while the second collective (1983–1990) produced a total of 15 issues.
