A magic lantern is a machine, the prototype of the slide projector, using a lamp and lens to project images drawn on glass onto a suitable screen, or a classical name for its successor, the slide projector.
According to Joseph Needham, magic lanterns reportedly already appear in writings in 2nd-century China. In the West, devices enlarging and projecting images with lanterns had been made before the 15th century, but the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher and Dutch Protestant Christiaan Huygens are said to have contributed to the reinvention of the magic lantern incorporating lenses and slides.

幻灯機（げんとうき、英語: magic lantern）とは、ランプとレンズを使って、ガラスに描かれた画像を適当な幕に投影するスライド映写機の原型にあたる機械、あるいはその後身であるスライド映写機の古典的呼称である。
ジョゼフ・ニーダムによれば、2世紀の中国で既に幻灯機が文献に現れているとされている。西洋では、15世紀以前からランタンによってイメージを拡大投影する装置が作り出されていたが、それにレンズとスライドの機構を取り入れた幻灯機の再発明には、イエズス会のアタナシウス・キルヒャーと、オランダ人プロテスタントのクリスティアーン・ホイヘンスが貢献したと言われている。
