Magadan Time (Russian: Магада́нское вре́мя, Magadanskoye vremya) or MAGT, was a time zone in Russia, named after Magadan, the administrative center of Magadan Oblast. It was twelve hours ahead of UTC (UTC+12) and eight hours ahead of Moscow Time (MSK+8).

On March 28, 2010, the two federal subjects of Russia using Kamchatka Time—Kamchatka Krai and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug—moved one hour backwards to Magadan Time, which made Kamchatka Time (MSK+9) unused.

On March 27, 2011, Russia moved to year-round daylight saving time. Instead of switching between UTC+11 in winter and UTC+12 in summer, Magadan Time became fixed at UTC+12, still at MSK+8.

On 26 October 2014 all time zones in Russia reduced their UTC offset by one hour. But at the same time the Magadan Oblast changed to Vladivostok Time, MSK+7 (now UTC+10). This left some other areas on MSK+8. So there was a decision to create a new time zone, called Srednekolymsk Time (UTC+11 or MSK+8). Also on this date, Kamchatka Time (UTC+12 or MSK+9) was reintroduced, containing Kamchatka Krai and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
