Derrida Today is a biannual academic journal published by Edinburgh University Press in May and November of each year, devoted to the works of French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004).

The aim of Derrida Today is to see Derrida's work in its broadest possible context and to argue for its keen and enduring relevance to our present intellectual, cultural and political situations. Its aim is not to conceive of Derrida's work as merely a major development in thinking about textuality, nor as simply belonging to the specific philosophical discussions in the name of which some philosophers have reclaimed it. Derrida Today attempts, therefore, to have the broadest possible reference, from the philosophical and theoretical through the most aesthetically innovative to the most urgently political. The founders of the journal are Nicole Anderson (Macquarie University, Sydney) and Nick Mansfield (Macquarie University, Sydney). The General Editor is Nicole Anderson.

Authors published in Derrida Today have included: Karen Barad, Andrew Benjamin, Geoffrey Bennington, Tom Cohen, Claire Colebrook, Grant Farred, Sean Gaston, Joanna Hodge, Christine Irizarry, Vicki Kirby, John Leavey, Niall Lucy, J. Hillis Miller, Christopher Norris, Herman Rapaport, Alison Ross, Henry Staten, H. Peter Steeves, Michael Naas, Elizabeth Rottenberg, Bernard Steigler, Jean-Michele Rebate, Adrian Johnston, Gil Anidjar, Hillis Miller, among others.
