T'ien Hsia Monthly (Chinese: 天下月刊; "T'ien Hsia" meaning "everything under heaven") was a monthly English-language magazine published in Shanghai from August 1935 to 1937 and in Hong Kong from 1937 to 1941. The editors of the magazine were ethnic Chinese, including editor-in-chief Wen Yuan-ning. Contributors included C. R. Boxer, Chuan Tsen-kuo, William Empson, Emily Hahn, Lin Yutang, Shao Xunmei (Zau Sinmay), and John C.H. Wu. The magazine's purpose was to include works from Chinese writers introducing China to the west and works from Western writers discussing their ideas about China. The Sun Yat-sen Institute for the Advancement of Culture and Education supported the publication. Kelly & Walsh was the magazine's printer.^[1]

Jonathan Hutt in China Heritage Quarterly described several of the contributors as being "China’s intellectual and literary stars."^[2] Ian Gill of the South China Morning Post stated that the magazine's editors, writers, and contributors were known for living liberal lifestyles.^[1] The China Heritage Quarterly stated that the magazine "reflected a positive relationship between the patriotic aspirations of some members of a Western-educated intelligentsia and a generous spirit of cosmopolitanism."^[3]
