Visual Communication Quarterly (VCQ) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering all areas of visual communication. It is an official journal of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication's Visual Communication Division and was established in 1994. It is published by Routledge and the editor-in-chief is Lawrence Mullen (University of Nevada, Las Vegas).

During its first 11 years, the journal was affiliated with the National Press Photographers Association and was mailed to professionals along with News Photographer magazine.^[1]

Over its first 25 years, more than two-thirds of the research published in VCQ focused on the United States and more than half of it focused on photography.^[2] Other visual matter the journal has explored include, in descending order, television, film, graphs and graphics, advertisements, editorial cartoons, newspaper design, illustrations, logos and symbols, and websites and blogs.
