The Magellanic diving petrel is a species of diving petrel, one of five very similar, small, auk-like petrels found exclusively in the southern oceans. It is one of the smaller species of diving petrels, though size differences are seemingly indistinguishable between species unless seen up close. It is probably the least known of all five species.
