List of covers of Time magazine (2010s)
This is a list of covers of Time magazine between 2010 and 2019. Time was first published in 1923. As Time became established as one of the United States' leading newsmagazines, an appearance on the cover of Time became an indicator of a person's notability, fame or notoriety. Such features were accompanied by articles about the person.
A European, Middle East and African version, an Asian version, and a South Pacific version are also published in addition to the United States edition each week. This article distinguishes when the intercontinental covers are different.
For other decades, see Lists of covers of Time magazine.
