Archduchess Magdalena of Austria was a 16th-century member of the Habsburg dynasty and the founding abbess of the Ladies' Convent of Hall. Born in Innsbruck to Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, she was raised with a strong Jesuit influence. Seeking a life of devotion rather than marriage, she established a religious community for pious women in Hall in Tirol. She led this convent as its first superior, eventually being recognized as Venerable within the Catholic Church.
