The Egyptian journal Maǧallat Kullīyat al-Ādāb bi-l-Ǧāmiʿa al-Miṣrīya (Arabic: مجلة كلية الآداب بالجامعة المصرية; DMG: Maǧallat Kullīyat al-Ādāb bi-l-Ǧāmiʿa al-Miṣrīya; English: "Bulletin of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Egypt") was published at Cairo University, formerly known as the University of Egypt resp. later known as Fuad I University, between 1933 and 1942. A total of ten issues was published in six editions every six months.[1]

The special feature of this journal was the division into an Arabic and a European part and thus the publication of articles in Arabic, English and French.[2] In terms of content, the magazine focused on historical events, numerous translations, the study of Arab scholars and their writings, philosophy, poetry and ancient languages.[2] Additionally, the journal specialized in various topics related to Egypt, such as history, culture and social development.[2]

After its publication discontinued between May 1937 and May 1941, a final issue was published in 1942. After the founding of the Alexandria University, formerly known as Farouk I University, as a department of the Cairo University,[3] its sequel Maǧallat Kullīyat al-Ādāb bi-l-Ǧāmiʿat Fārūq al-Awwal/Bulletin of the Faculty of Arts of the Farouk I University[2] has been published since May 1943.[4]
