Félix Magnette (9 December 1868 – 1942) was a Belgian historian from Liège.
Magnette was born in Arlon on 9 December 1868 and was educated at the Athénée de Liège and University of Liège, where he studied under Godefroid Kurth, and graduated in 1892 with a Ph.D. on Joseph II and navigation on the Scheldt, supervised by Eugène Hubert.
In 1893 he was awarded a travel bursary and spent two years studying abroad in Vienna, Munich and Paris.
[1] He retired in 1939, but returned to teaching in 1940 to replace a colleague who had been called up and become a prisoner of war.
His best known work was Précis d'histoire liégeoise (1924), which was awarded a prize by Liège city council as a work that could be used in schools to "extend knowledge of the rich and eventful past of our city".
