Valeurs actuelles is a French conservative weekly news magazine published in Paris, France.

Valeurs actuelles was founded in 1966 by Raymond Bourgine as an offspring of the weekly Finances, a stock market information review. The magazine gradually became an opinion and generalist publication with a liberal-conservative tendency. In 1971 Valeurs actuelles was relaunched. The magazine is published on a weekly basis.

Formerly owned by Socpresse the magazine has been owned by Valmonde, a subsidiary of Sud Communication. The company is owned by Pierre Fabre, who founded Laboratoires Pierre Fabre.

The main articles of the magazine are the editorial, written by François d'Orcival; the lettre de M. de Rastignac ("Rastignac's letter"), a humour piece about French politics that comments on present politicians by calling them by names of supporting characters from Balzac's works. The magazine has a right-wing stance.

Valeurs actuelles is mostly distributed to subscribers. Its circulation in 1981 was 113,000 copies. The estimated circulation of the magazine was 90,000 copies in 1988. The magazine sold 116,126 copies in France in 2015.
