The French ironclad Magnanime was one of 10 Provence-class armored frigates built for the French Navy during the 1860s. Commissioned in 1865, she was initially assigned to the Northern Squadron, but was soon transferred to the Mediterranean Squadron, often serving as a flagship. The ironclad played a minor role in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, blockading the North Sea coast of Prussia. Magananime was reduced to reserve after the war, but was reactivated in 1875 and assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet. The ship was decommissioned in 1878 and was stricken from the navy list in 1882. She was scrapped in 1885.
