"Modern Magdalen" is a painting created by the distinct American artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Completed around 1888 during Chase's mature period, work is an oil on canvas residing in the permanent collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art.

The, inspired by the biblical figure Mary Magdalene, reveals Chase's interest in contemporary social issues embedded within classical allusions. The painting features a young woman presumably withdrawn in contemplative introspection, seated on an opulent, richly textured couch. She is adorned in fine clothing and clutches a devotional book. The somber, dark palette, combined with the decadence of her surroundings, suggests an emotional moment of self-examination, repentance, or conversion; elements hinting at the complexity of the character.

Within Chase's oeuvre, "Modern Magdalen" is a noteworthy example of his skill in portraiture and his ability to portray psychological depth. In addition, it is demonstrative of Chase's adaptation of the principles learned from European modernist painters alongside a distinctly American sensibility. As such, it is valued both for its aesthetic achievement and as a reflection of late 19th-century American attitudes towards morality, spirituality, and femininity.
