The London Aphrodite was a little literary magazine which existed between 1928 and 1929.[1] It is known for its founders Jack Lindsay and P. R. Stephensen. Tim Armstrong described the magazine as an example of micro-modernist publications.[1]

Stephensen who also owned the publisher of the magazine, Fánfrolico Press.[2][4] In the first issue it was announced that there would be only six issues of The London Aphrodite.[2] The same issue also contained a manifesto in which the editors attacked another British magazine entitled The London Mercury and its literary approach.[5] Cover page of the each issue was printed in different colours, and it was published on a bimonthly basis.[2]
