Viator is an academic peer-reviewed journal published by Brepols for the University of California, Los Angeles. It publishes scholarly articles on medieval and Renaissance studies, and increasingly focuses on articles addressing topics from late antiquity to early modernity. Founded in 1971 by Lynn Townsend White Jr., the journal published its 50th volume in 2020. In 2021, Viator adopted a new mission statement and assembled a new External Editorial Board. Also in 2021, longstanding editor Henry A. Kelly stepped down from his position.
