Kladderadatsch (; ) was a satirical German-language magazine first published in Berlin on 7 May 1848. It appeared weekly or as Kladderadatsch put it: "daily, except for weekdays." It was founded by Albert Hofmann and David Kalisch, the latter the son of a Jewish merchant and the author of several works of comedy. Publication ceased in 1944.

Two other writers, Ernst Dohm and Rudolf Löwenstein, were then employed. Wilhelm Scholz's drawings appeared in the second edition, and would do so for the next 40 years. The magazine sold 50,000 copies in 1890 and 85,000 copies in 1911.
