The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society produces a significant amount of printed and electronic literature, primarily for use by Jehovah's Witnesses. Their best known publications are the magazines, The Watchtower and Awake!

The Watchtower was first published by Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Bible Student movement, in 1879,^[1] followed by the inception of the Watch Tower Society in 1881.^[2] Supporters adopted the name Jehovah's witnesses in 1931.^[3] Particularly since 2001, when referring to other Watch Tower Society publications their literature has typically stated that it is "published by Jehovah's Witnesses",^[4] though the edition notice identifies the publisher as the Watch Tower Society.^[5]

Along with books and brochures, other media are also produced, including CDs, MP3s and DVDs, and Internet downloads and video streaming. New publications are usually released at Jehovah's Witnesses' annual conventions.
