Magdalis is a genus of wedge-shaped bark weevils in the family Curculionidae, containing at least 20 described species. Species within this genus are associated with woody host plants, including oaks and elms. At least one species, Magdalis armicollis, has been documented as a pest of red oak, causing twig dieback through larval tunneling. The genus has a broad distribution including North America and Eurasia.
