Countess Magdalena Elisabeth of Hanau-Münzenberg (28 March 1611 – 26 February 1687) was a German noblewoman. She was a daughter of Count Albert of Hanau-Münzenberg-Schwarzenfels (1579-1635) and his wife, Countess Ehrengard of Isenburg (1577-1637).

On 28 March 1636, she married the Imperial Cupbearer, George Frederick Schenk of Limpurg-Speckfeld (27 June 1596 – 5 December 1651).
