Numerical simulation of MHD free convection in a two-dimensional trapezoidal cavity of a hybrid nanofluid has been carried out in this research. The cavity is heated sinusoidal from the bottom wall, and the inclined walls are cooled while the top wall is isolated. The hybrid nanofluid (MgO-Ag/water) has been used as a working fluid. The numerical simulation has been validated with past papers and met a good agreement. The considered parameters are a range of Rayleigh number (Ra= 103 to 106), Hartmann number (Ha= 0 to 60) and volume fraction (f= 0 to 0.02). The results are presented as isotherms, stream functions, local and average Nusselt numbers, from which it is observed that the strength of the stream functions and isotherms increases with the increase of the Ra and ϕ while the increase in Hartmann number reduce the circulation of the flow and increases the isotherms strength. Also, the Nusselt number is increases with Ra and ϕ while it decreases with Ha.
