Magdalen Feline (sometimes Fellen or Pheline) (died 1796) was an English silversmith.

Feline was the widow of largeworker Edward Feline, and herself was classified as both a largeworker and a plateworker during her career. Her first mark was registered on 15 May 1753; a second mark followed on 18 January 1757. She gave an address of King Street in Covent Garden. [1] Among those for whom she worked during her career were Lord and Lady Stamford. [2]

A box by Feline, made between 1771 and 1772, is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. [3] The National Museum of Women in the Arts owns a George II lamp stand of 1751 and a George II kettle on lamp stand of 1756. [1] Feline also created the mace of the South Carolina House of Representatives, which dates to 1756 and is reputedly the only such pre-Revolutionary mace remaining in use in the United States. [4] Four other maces by her exist in England. [5] Also surviving is her will, dated 10 June 1796. [6]
