Gadis (stylized in all caps since 1991; Girl) was an Indonesian weekly magazine for teenage girls. It was first published in 1973 by Femina Group.[1] [2] Gadis focused on fashion and celebrities and offered information about the latest entertainment and feature stories on current issues and events. Its headquarters was in Jakarta. The magazine targeted teenage girls.

Gadis was born following the success of its predecessor Femina magazine. This magazine just obtained a Press Publishing Business License (SIUPP) from the Minister of Information in 1986.[3]

Every year, Gadis holds Gadis Sampul which started in 1987. This event has successfully produced big names in entertainment, such as Krisdayanti, Dian Sastrowardoyo, Maudy Ayunda and others.[4]

In November 2020, Leoni Sihombing, Editor-in-Chief Gadis, announced that the December 2020 issue would be the last regularly scheduled printed issue and that the magazine would now publish its content online. The decision to close the print edition was attributed in part to the COVID-19 pandemic which interfered with distribution of the magazine.
