The Magician is a 1926 horror film directed by Rex Ingram about a magician's efforts to acquire the blood of a virgin for his experiments to create life.

It was adapted by Ingram from the novel The Magician by W. Somerset Maugham. The film is largely forgotten today, and of interest mostly to fans of obscure films or early horror.

It includes a brief appearance by a young Michael Powell in a comedic role.
