Table Talk (Australian newspaper)

Table Talk was a weekly magazine published from 26 June 1885 until 1939 in Melbourne, Australia. It was established in 1885 by Maurice Brodzky (1847–1919), who obtained financial assistance to start his own publication after resigning from The Herald.

Table Talk was a social magazine for men and women that included articles about politics, finance, literature, arts, and social notes. Its gossip style attracted readers with articles about local notables and famous people from overseas commenting on, among other things, their fashion, relationships, and social engagements. It was most popular during Melbourne's boom in the 1880s.

In 1899, Table Talk's format changed to include different font sizes and photographs and in 1926 it absorbed the illustrated magazine, Punch. The last issue was dated 7 September 1939.
