Vindrosen (meaning The Compass Card in English) was a Danish modernist cultural and literary magazine existed between 1954 and 1974.
Vindrosen was established in 1954 as a successor to another cultural magazine Heretica. The magazine was published by the leading Danish company Gyldendal in Copenhagen. It focused on literary work. During the 1950s the magazine was under the influence of the writers contributed to Heretica. However, later it abandoned their views and their cold war approach, and began to adopt an emphasize on the third world countries. In addition, it became one of the supporters of modernism and radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s in Denmark. In the 1960s it also featured criticisms of literature and society. The magazine closely collaborated with the paper Information on these issues. Around the 1968 Student Revolution events the magazine was a platform for the young leftist intellectuals.
In the 1950s Peter P. Rohde was the editor of the magazine. Then Klaus Rifbjerg and Villy Sorensen co-edited it. The former served in the post between 1959 and 1963. In the rest of the 1960s Jess Ørnsbo served in the post. Niels Barfoed was also among the editors of Vindrosen.
In 1974 Vindrosen ceased publication.
