Popular Mechanics is an American magazine devoted to science and technology. It was first published January 11, 1902 by H.H. Windsor, and has been owned since the 1950s by the Hearst Corporation. There is also a Latin American edition that has been published for decades and a newly formed South African version available.

Popular Mechanics features regular sections on automotive, home, outdoors, science, and technology topics. A recurring column is "Jay Leno's Garage" featuring observations by the famed late-night talk show host and vehicle enthusiast.

Popular Mechanics gained notoriety when it targeted the 9/11 Truth Movement with a cover story in its March 2005 edition. In this edition, Popular Mechanics Editor (formerly of Entertainment Weekly) James B. Meigs, described a limited series of claims by challengers to the official story of 9/11 as "mistaken, misunderstood, or deliberately falsified. Refutations to this article soon emerged, with the primary essay being Jim Hoffman's "Popular Mechanics Attacks Its "9/11 LIES" Straw Man. Hoffman described the article as "entirely ignor[ing] vast bodies of evidence showing that only insiders had the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out the attack."

Chief competitors of Popular Mechanics are Popular Science, Family Handyman and American Woodworker.
