Tempo (meaning Time in English) was an Italian language illustrated weekly news magazine published in Milan, Italy, between 1939 and 1976 with a temporary interruption during World War II.

Tempo was first published on 9 June 1939, being the first full colour illustrated Italian magazine. The founding company was Mondadori. The magazine was modelled on the American magazines Life and Newsweek.

Tempo was edited by Alberto Mondadori, son of Arnoldo Mondadori.Indro Montanelli was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine. From its start in 1939 to September 1943 Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Grazia. The early contributors for Tempo were Massimo Bontempelli, Curzio Malaparte, Lamberti Sorrentino, and Salvatore Quasimodo. The magazine also included the work by photographers John Philiphs who previously worked for Life, and Federico Patellani.

The headquarters of Tempo was in Milan. Major sections of the magazine included politics, news, literature and art. Although it was modeled on Life, unlike it Tempo covered much more political topics. By 1942 Tempo had editions published in eight different languages, including Albanian, Croatian, French, Greek, Rumanian, Spanish, German and Hungarian.
