PC Utilities was a monthly computer magazine published in the UK. PC Utilities has been discontinued from 22 July 2012.

The magazine described itself as "the definitive guide to free Windows software". Each issue came with a DVD coverdisc (initially one, two or even three CDs with earlier issues), containing hundreds of freeware and shareware programs. The content of the magazine included tutorials, features and workshops with a bias towards Windows software and typical home user tasks.

Launched in spring 2000 the magazine was originally produced by Live Publishing Ltd and edited by its Publishing Director Wayne Williams, before Keir Thomas took over with issue 4. Gavin Burrell became editor with issue 40. In August 2005, Live Publishing went into administration[1] and the title was then acquired by Magnesium Media Ltd, retaining Burrell as editor before he was succeeded by Ian Barker.

The magazine spawned several less-frequently published companion titles, including PC Utilities Gold, and PC Tools. None of these are now published.
