A magnetograph is one of two types of scientific instrument:
- A special type of magnetometer that records a time plot of the local magnetic field near the instrument; or
- A telescope capable of producing magnetograms: maps of the magnetic field strength and/or direction on a distant object such as the Sun, using the Zeeman splitting or other spectral signatures of magnetization. (see vector magnetograph)
