MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope) adalah sebuah teleskop yang terletak di Roque de los Muchachos Observatory di La Palma, Canary Islands. Dengan large mirrored dish bergaris tengah 17 meter dan luas permukaan 240 meter persegi, ia dapat mendeteksi sinar kosmik (lihat radiasi Cherenkov) dan dibuat untuk mendeteksi sinar gamma.
Mulai mengumpulkan data pada 2004, MAGIC adalah kelanjutan dari percobaan HEGRA.
