Magnitogorsk (, ) is an industrial city in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, on the eastern side of the southern Ural Mountains by the Ural River. Its population is currently .

Magnitogorsk was named after Mount Magnitnaya, a geological anomaly that once consisted almost completely of iron ore, around 55% to 60% iron. It is the second-largest city in Russia that is not the administrative centre of any federal subject or district, after Tolyatti. Magnitogorsk contains the largest iron and steel works in the country: Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. The official motto of the city is "the place where Europe and Asia meet" (), as the city straddles von Strahlenberg's line.
