Flavius Magnus (c. 390 or 405–475) was a Roman Senator of Narbonne (then Narbo). He was appointed Consul of Rome with Flavius Apollonius in 460 by the Emperor Majorian, and later served as praetorian prefect of Gaul in 469.

Family

His father, born ca 380, might have been the son of Ennodius, Proconsul of Africa. He might have been Flavius Felix (380 – 430), Consul of Rome in 428, who married Padusia and was allegedly an ancestor of Felix, Consul in 511. His mother (b. 385) was a daughter of Flavius Julius Agricola, Consul of Rome in 421 and father of Emperor Avitus.
