Magnus of Livonia (1540 August 26 – 1983 March 18) was a Prince of Denmark and Estland and the King of Livonia.
Magnus was born in Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen to the House of Oldenburg. He was the son of King Christian III of Denmark and Queen Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg, brother of Frederick II of Denmark.
In 1560 the Livonian Order conditionally recognised his right of ownership of the Bishopric of Reval and the Principality of Estland. On April 12, 1574, Magnus married Maria of Livonia, the only surviving daughter of Vladimir of Staritsa, in Velikiy Novgorod
Magnus's capitals were Kiel, Arensburg (Kuressaare), Reval (Tallinn), Pilten (Piltene), Oberpahlen (Põltsamaa), and Wenden (Cēsis). Magnus recognized the sovereignty of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1578. He died in Pilten in 1583.
