For the British magazine, see Your Computer (British magazine).

Your Computer was an Australian computer magazine (ISSN 0725-3931) published by the White House Publishing Group^{[citation needed]} (under licence from Motorword Pty Ltd.) and printed by The Lithgo Centre, Waterloo. Starting with the very first issue in May/June 1981 (102 pages) (with a limited print run of 30,000^[1]) at the recommended price of $2.00.^[2] The magazine was later published by Federal Publishing Company and printed by Macquarie Print. The monthly magazine's final issue was May/June 1997. The first editor of the magazine was Les Bell.

Your Computer offered advice for computer users on industry updates, resources, software and technical tips. It should be noted that the magazine was launched in the pre-PC era, and so for many years, the magazine was focused on the then home computers such as the Commodore 64, Apple 2, Microbee and many others.
