Chronicles is a U.S. monthly magazine published by the Rockford Institute. Its full current name is Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. The magazine is known for promoting anti-globalism and anti-intervention stances within conservative politics, and is characterized as "paleoconservative." However, Chronicles has accepted more moderate approaches to Hispanic immigration and diversity. Its present editor is Thomas Fleming. The executive editor is Scott P. Richert, Aaron D. Wolf is associate editor, and Chilton Williamson is the senior editor for books.

Chronicles was founded in 1976, soon after the Institute's establishment earlier that year. Originally known as Chronicles of Culture, the magazine was originally published by Polish-Jewish author Leopold Tyrmand and John A. Howard. Thomas Fleming joined the Institute's staff in 1984 and became editor in 1985, after Tyrmand died. Fleming changed the title to Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. Chronicles also promotes the activities of the John Randolph Club, another project of the Rockford Institute.

During the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections, Chronicles strongly supported Patrick Buchanan's candidacy.

More recently, Fleming avers in his published comments that the major aims of traditional conservatism will fail and compares conservative activism to terrorism:

I regard the ethnic situation – like the cultural, moral, and spiritual situations – in this country as beyond all hope of remedy. I am shutting down this discussion… Any call to direct action… is tantamount to terrorism. The end.

Editors of the online edition likewise censor politically incorrect comments and commenters. Srđa Trifković, a veteran contributing editor of Chronicles resigned in December of 2008 and his column has been removed from the banner header.

Many articles are now translated online into Spanish.
