"Utsikt" was a Swedish magazine published in 1948–1950 by Bonnier's publishers. It succeeded the 1940s and, like its predecessor,
became the leading body for the young literature and literary criticism of its time, but also devoted more space to art and music.
The editor was Axel Liffner and the contributing authors were Werner Aspenström, Lars Forssell, Lars Gyllensten, Folke Isaksson and Gösta Oswald.
It was replaced by the magazine "Femtital".
