Măgurele is a town in the southwest part of Ilfov County, Romania.
The town hosts a research lab in nuclear technology – the Institute of Atomic Physics (Romanian: Institutul de Fizicǎ Atomicǎ, or, for short, IFA). Between 1957 and 1998, it had an experimental nuclear reactor, now closed down. The Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest is also located in Măgurele.
Its name is derived from a Romanian word possibly of Dacian origin, măgură, meaning "hill".
