A magnetic-inductive flowmeter has a plurality of functional units and a housing which is common to all of the functional units. Each functional unit has a measuring tube for an electrically conductive medium to flow through, a magnetic field-generating device having at least one field coil for generating a magnetic field which runs at least also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, and two measuring electrodes. A virtual connecting line between the measuring electrodes runs at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field which passes through the measuring tube. A common medium-inflow connection is created in the housing for the measuring tubes of all of the functional units, a common power supply is created for the magnetic field-generating device of all of the functional units, and a common evaluation unit is created for the measuring electrodes of all of the functional units.
