G: Material zur elementaren Gestaltung [G: Material for Elementary Construction] was an avant-garde journal edited and published in Berlin by Hans Richter. Five issues were produced in German between 1923-26. El Lissitzky and Werner Graeff were on the editorial board of the first issue, subsequently the architects Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Kiesler joined Richter as editors.

G's first two issues consisted of a large folded sheet with just four pages, but from June 1924 it became a more conventional magazine. The first rubric changed, with the third issue, to Zeitschrift für elementare Gestaltung [Journal for Elementary Construction]. International in outlook, the magazine was primarily interested in modern constructive form, including buildings, aeroplanes, cars and town planning, and it drew into its orbit film and photomontage.
