Best Fanzine was first instituted as a Hugo category in 1955. It is given each year for non professionally edited magazines, or "fanzines", related to science fiction or fantasy which has published four or more issues with at least one issue appearing in the previous calendar year.

Many zines who repeatedly won the best fanzine category went on to become "semipro" zines; the "best semiprozine" award category is for zines which paid its staff and/or contributors in something other than copies of the zine and was generally available only for paid purchase. For a list of the winners, see the Wikipedia article.
