American Craft is a periodical magazine that documents crafts, craft artists, and both practical and creative aspects of the field of American craft. Originally founded by Aileen Osborn Webb in 1941 as Craft Horizons, the magazine has been published by the nonprofit American Craft Council under the title American Craft since November 1979.

As of 1979, the magazine's monthly circulation averaged 40,000 copies, making it the main craft publication in the United States. As American Craft, the magazine developed "a more visual orientation as a coffee-table magazine".Шаблон:Rp After the National Endowment for the Arts began to award grants to individual craftspeople in 1973, American Craft profiled major NEA craft recipients.Шаблон:Rp However, its reviews were often limited to "one or two in-depth commentaries" accompanied by a "visual summary of shows".
