Sfinx was a science fiction fanzine published by the Oxford University Speculative Fiction Group.

Sfinx was published in the UK. The first issue appeared in 1969

Morgan; Diana Reed was editor for #3, #4, #5, published 1970-1971; Allan Scott edited #6; Allan Scott and Kevin Smith were editors for #7, which was nominated for a Nova Award for Best Fanzine in 1973, and #8 in 1973; Kevin Smith was editor for #9, published in 1974; Peter D. Jones edited #10, published in 1975; Andrew Chapman edited #11 in 1976.

David Langford was a frequent contributor. In his book, "The Sex Column and Other Misprints", he describes finding the publication; "So when I went to Oxford for three years of failing to study physics, I was primed to seek out SF contacts. Sure enough, the crowded notice-board of my college (Brasenose) featured the cover of an obviously SF publication called Sfinx - the university SF group's fiction magazine...You could tell the publishers had cosmic minds, by their total failure to provide a price or address. But I tracked them down anyway."
