X‐ray surveys of the Carina nebula have revealed a few hard and luminous sources associated with early‐type stars. Such unusual characteristics for the high‐energy emission may be related to magnetically confined winds. To search for the presence of magnetic fields in these objects, we performed a limited spectropolarimetric survey using the Focal reducer and low dispersion spectrograph (FORS) instrument. The multi‐object mode was used, so that a total of 21 OB stars could be investigated during a one‐night‐long run. A magnetic field was detected in two objects of the sample, with a 6σ significance: Tr16‐22 and 13. Such a detection was expected for Tr16‐22, as its X‐ray emission is too bright, variable and hard, compared to other late‐type O or O+OB systems. It is more surprising for Tr16‐13, a poorly known star which so far has never shown any peculiar characteristics. Subsequent monitoring is now needed to ascertain the physical properties of these objects and enable a full modelling of their magnetic atmospheres and winds.
