Le Zombie was a science fiction fanzine published by Wilson "Bob" Tucker.

The first issue was released in Bloomington, Illinois, U.S.A. December 1938, intended as a 'rider' with a weekly newszine called Fantasy News. It was a typed, doubled-sided news sheet subtitled "Tucker's Candid Comment". As of the sixth issue, it no longer accompanied Fantasy News, but was now a 'rider' with Nova. Issue 2, the convention issue, was 6 pages, and Issue 10 of August 1939, saw Le Zombie emerge as a four page zine with photos and a cover, and become a subscription zine.

With issue 11, Sully Roberts was Associate Editor and occasional art work. Issue 12 featured illustrations, with Walter Marconette as Art Director.

Sixty seven issues were produced between the 1930s and the 1960s.

In October of 2000, Le Zombie became an "ezine', called e-zombie. Five issues were released, the most recent in August 2001.

A number of terms were coined in the pages of Le Zombie" the term "space opera" appears for the first time in an issue in 1941.
