Disability Now was a UK magazine for disabled people, published by UK disability charity Scope(previously known as the National Spastics Society).

It was first published in 1984 as a newspaper and continued in that form until 2008, when it was redesigned as an A4 magazine with a greater emphasis on lifestyle features than previously.^[2] During this time, Ian Macare became the first disabled person to edit a British disability-focused publication.^[3] In 2012 it moved to an online only format, with the last print edition in September 2012.^[4]

In December 2016, Scope announced the closure of the then-online only publication^[5] but would "continue publishing DN-branded content on its own website".^[6]
