The Magnus Archives is a horror fiction podcast written by Jonathan Sims, directed by Alexander J. Newall, and distributed by Rusty Quill. Sims starred as the Head Archivist for the fictional Magnus Institute, a London-based paranormal research institution, originally making audio recordings of statements for the Institute's research before being ensnared in a paranormal conspiracy traced back to the Institute itself. Five seasons were released between 2016 and 2021 on various audio streaming services.

The series has received critical acclaim for its atmosphere and horror concepts, and is the recipient of several podcast awards. A sequel podcast, The Magnus Protocol, began in 2024.
