Magas (Russian: Мага́с) is the capital of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia. The town was founded in 1995; it replaced Nazran as the capital of the republic in 2002, however accommodating still as little as 300 inhabitants (2005 est.; 275 in 2002).

The republic of Ingushetia became a separate federal entity of Russia in 1992, having been split from the Chechen-Ingush Republic. Nazran, the largest of three towns of the new republic, was made a temporary capital, however it was badly suited for this purpose. The city of Magas was founded just a few kilometers away from Nazran, and was supposed to serve purely for administrative needs. Its name originated from the name of the ancient capital of Ingushetia[citation needed], presumably destroyed by the Mongols[citation needed] in the 13th century. Its name is translated as "the city of the Sun". The president's palace and the government building were built in rich oriental style, and a business district is under construction. The city is projected to house about 30,000 inhabitants in future.
