In this paper, a temperature-insensitive ferrofluid (FF)-clad microfiber Bragg Grating (MF-BG) magnetic field sensor is proposed. Through optimizing the diameter of MF-BG, we can effectively suppress its thermal property. The experimental research results show that when the diameter of MF-BG is ~2.94 μm, its reflection spectrum shift owing to ambient temperature change can be substantially small within the range of 20–80 °C. The thermal stable sensor has a magnetic field sensitivity of 0.667 pm/Gs with a linearity of more than 0.985 at 20 °C.
