Terrorism and Political Violence is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering terrorism and counter-terrorism published by Routledge. It was established in 1989 by David C. Rapoport (University of California, Los Angeles), who remains editor-in-chief. In the editorial manifesto in its first issue, it is referred to as the Journal of Terrorism Research;^[1] however, from its first issue until the present, in editorial statements^[2] and elsewhere, it is only ever cited as Terrorism and Political Violence.^[3]

Several internationally-renowned scholars in the field have served as Editor-in-Chief, including Paul Wilkinson, David Rapoport and John Horgan. Alex P. Schmid was co-editor of the journal^[4] until 2009,^[5] and remains on the editorial board.^[6] As of January 2025, the Editor-in-Chief is James J.F. Forest, and Co-Editors include Max Taylor, Michele Grossman AM, Beatrice A. de Graaf and Orla Lynch.^[7]
