The Persian-language journal Majlis (Persian: مجلس; DMG: Maǧlis; English: "Parliament" or "Assembly") was published in Tehran between 1906 and 1908. A total of 325 issues was edited in one volume. Each issue consisted of eight pages and was distributed free of charge.[1]

Majlis was considered to be the journal of the Constitutional Revolution and the mouthpiece of the parliament. It was dedicated to publishing parliament's negotiations and their results directly and unfiltrated to the public.[2][1] Mirza Mohsen Mojtahed was the editor and its chief editor was Seyed Mohammad Hosseini Tabatabaei.[1]

The magazine provided as much information about the rural dimension of the revolution as about the socio-economic situation in the country at that time as well as the various strikes and protests.[2] Letters to the editor also reflected the prevailing controversies between intellectuals, conservatives and the peasantry on various political issues.[2] During the period of its publication, the magazine was not subject to any state censorship.[1]
