Manheim Township School District is a local school district of over 5,000 students in nine schools located in central Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA, just north of Lancaster City. The district is well known in the Lancaster County region for its academic achievement, popular quiz bowl team, and performing arts group. The district draws students from a single eponymous township of approximately 23 square miles, with over 13,400 residential dwellings, and about 31,300 residents as of 2006. The district's public school population of over 5,000 students in kindergarten through twelfth grades is distributed over nine school buildings: there are six elementary schools (grades K-5), a single 6th-grade building, one middle school (grades 7 & 8), and one high school (grades 9-12). The district high school is currently undergoing new construction. The district budget in 2005 was over $57,000,000.

The district's colors are blue and white. A traditional rival of the district is Hempfield.
