BattleTechnology is a magazine that was published irregularly between 1987 and 1995 by Pacific Rim Publishing Company. It was dedicated to BattleTech, a tabletop game of futuristic combat that was published at the time by FASA Corporation. The magazine includes game scenarios, optional rules, technical specifications for BattleMechs and other units, historical and current events in the fictional BattleTech universe, and short fiction. All of these components were approved by FASA, thus making the magazine an official source of optional materials for the game.

BattleTechnology follows an 8.5" x 11" format and generally includes about 60 pages per issue. It carries the subtitle: “the magazine of combat in the 31st century".

There were twenty-one issues of BattleTechnology published, as well as two special editions, namely The Lost Issues and The Early Years. The first six issues, printed in 1987 and 1988, carried unique numbers: 0101, 0102, 0201, 0202, 0203, and 0204. The subsequent issues used normal sequential numbering, from 7 to 21. The first twelve issues were collected into a set known as BattleTechnology: The War Years. Issues 13 through 21 were compiled into BattleTechnology: The Time of The Clans.{{Categories}}
