Ecotone is an American literary magazine established in 2005 at the University of North Carolina Wilmington by David Gessner, Kimi Faxon Hemingway, and Heather Wilson. It is based at the Department of Creative Writing and produced by faculty and students in the Master of Fine Arts program at the university. The magazine publishes two issues per year, focussing on different aspects of place-based writing and art. Each issue endeavors to bring together ""the literary and scientific, the personal and biological, the urban and rural." Issues include fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and comics.

The magazine has received numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.
