L'Express is France's first weekly news magazine. When founded in 1953 during the First Indochina War, it was modelled on the American magazine TIME.

The magazine has a left-of-centre orientation. It is owned by Socpresse (80% owned by Dassault Group), and has a circulation of 542,900. It was co-founded by Jean-Jacques Servan Schreiber, future president of the Radical Party, and Françoise Giroud, who had earlier edited ELLE and went on to become France's first Minister of Women's Affairs in 1974 and Minister of Culture in 1976.

In 1964, a number of journalists, including Jean Daniel and André Gorz, quit L'Express to found Le Nouvel Observateur.
