Materials that are attracted to magnets or that can be magnetized themselves are called magnetic materials. Some examples of magnetic materials include:

- Iron

- Nickel

- Cobalt

- Gadolinium

- Dysprosium

- Neodymium

- Samarium

- Praseodymium

- Terbium

- Alloys of these elements

- Some naturally occurring minerals, such as magnetite and lodestone

Magnetic materials are often used in a variety of applications, such as:

- Magnets

- Motors

- Generators

- Magnetic recording media

- Magnetic sensors

- Medical imaging (MRI)
