The Working Man's Friend and Family Instructor (commonly abbreviated as The Working Man's Friend) was a publication from mid-19th century London, created by John Cassell.

Introduced shortly before the Great Exhibition, the magazine regularly included mentions of the event and its organization. In addition, monthly supplementary issues were released.

The series discontinued publication by 1852. Historical business and social materials from the magazine have been preserved through microform and digital formats.
