Encounter was a literary magazine, founded in 1953 by poet Stephen Spender and journalist Irving Kristol.
 The magazine ceased publication in 1991.

 The magazine received covert funding from the Central Intelligence Agency, after the CIA and MI6 discussed the founding of an "Anglo-American left-of-centre publication" intended to counter the idea of cold war neutralism.
 The magazine was rarely critical of American foreign policy, but beyond this editors had considerable publishing freedom.
