* In his ComicBook/DCRebirth series (specifically issue 17), ''ComicBook/{{Cyborg}}'' has learned some rudimentary magic due to having gone on a date with fellow hero ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}, despite being, as his moniker implies, a cyborg. It is not much, mostly just him unlocking a door by shouting "Alakazam," but it does help.

* Creator/LawrenceWattEvans has a pair of novels, ''The Cyborg and the Sorcerers'' and ''The Wizard and the War Machine'', where a cyborg soldier winds up on a planet where magic is real, [[GoingNative goes native]], and ends up becoming a wizard himself.

* Creator/GamesWorkshop games:
** ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': The [[RatMen Skaven]] Warlock Engineers of Clan Skryre often replace lost limbs with {{Magitek}} creation of their own devising and, in battle, can use their natural arcane abilities to shoot Warp Lightning at their enemies. The greatest of their number, Ikit Claw, has replaced more than falf his body with such devices and is considered to be the greatest Skaven spellcaster outside of the [[ReligionIsMagic Grey Seers priesthood]].
** ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
*** As with their non-psyker brethren, it's not unusual for [[MagicKnight Librarians]] of the [[SuperSoldier Adeptus Astartes]] to sport bionic limbs and organs as a result of centuries of combat. Those that share the gene-seed of the machine obsessed Iron Hands are particularly likely to have such cybernetic enhancements and often manifest [[{{Technocracy}} machine-based]] psychic abilities.
*** The Dark Adepts of the Dark Mechanicum, the twisted hybrids of technology and the arcane who are the {{Evil Counterpart}}s of the Imperium's [[MachineWorship Tech-Priests]] use the profane rituals and foul sorcery of the Dark Powers to enhance the weapons and monstrous [[HauntedTechnology daemon engine]] that they create for the forces of the Ruinous Powers.

* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowrun}}'': Your character Jake Armitage can essentially become this. On top of having the Dog Spirit's favor, and getting a wide variety of spells, he can be fitted with all manner of cyberware without the usual penalties this would cause in the Shadowrun-verse.

* Due to taking on aspects of both Cameron Hodge and Belasco, [[CompositeCharacter Cameron Belasco]] of ''ComicBook/InfinityWars'' combines cybernetics with demonic magic.

A lot of magic in fiction requires the caster to have some metaphysical connection with magic--usually a soul--in order to use it. And given that there's usually a case where CyberneticsEatYourSoul, a cyborg who can use magic would therefore have some limitations in regards to using the latter.

* In the ''VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns'' series, you can build a Mage/Shaman character this way, though it's advised to keep the cybernetics to a minimum since Essence loss also means longer cooldowns for spells. To a lesser extent, ''any'' character built with both spells and cyberware in their loadout technically qualifies for this trope.
