Magic Flute (28 August 1983 - 13 July 1997) is an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse.
Owned initially by Robert Sangster's Swettenham Stud, and later by Mike Willessee's Trans Media Stud. She was trained by Brian Mayfield-Smith and her regular jockey was Jim Cassidy.
She raced for 2 seasons almost exclusively at graded race level, winning 7 Stakes Races including the VATC Thousand Guineas and the STC Doncaster Handicap. At the end of her 3 year old career, Magic Flute was retired to stud but failed to produce anything near as good as herself. She died on 13 July 1997 just short of her 14th birthday, having produced just 4 colt foals.
