An editor-at-large is a journalist who contributes content to a magazine. They are typically credited in the publication's masthead, even if they technically are not on staff.^[1] The responsibilities of the editor-at-large may change project to project, or they may have another specialist role related indirectly to the magazine itself.^[1]

Sometimes such an editor is called a roving reporter or roving editor. Unlike an editor who works on a publication from day to day and is hands-on, an editor-at-large contributes content on a semi-regular basis and has less of a say in matters such as layout, pictures or the publication's direction.

Editor at large is a term often used in fashion magazines, usually appointing long-term editors or celebrities. Notable examples are Andre Leon Talley (1948-2022) of Vogue and Anna Dello Russo of Vogue Japan.
