HMS Magicienne was a 16 gun steam powered paddle frigate of the Royal Navy built at Pembroke Dockyard and launched on 7 March 1849.
She was part of the two-ship class of Magicienne-class second class paddle frigates. She and her sister Valorous were originally ordered on 25 April 1847 as First Class sloops to John Edye's design, approved on 12 August 1847. On 5 August 1847 they were re-ordered as 210 ft (64 m) vessels. When finished, they constituted the last group of paddle warships built for the Royal Navy.
She was sold to Marshall of Plymouth for breaking up in September 1866.
