The City of Manningham is a Local Government Area in Victoria, Australia. It is located in the northeastern suburbs of Melbourne. It has an area of 113 square kilometres. In 2001, it had a population of 112,000.

Manningham municipality was created on December 15, 1994 as part of a general restructure of Melbourne's local government boundaries. The new municipality contains the former City of Doncaster and Templestowe, but with Ringwood North ceded to the new City of Maroondah, and with Wonga Park annexed from the former Shire of Lillydale.

The name Bulleen was proposed for the new municipality, as it was the name of the shire predating the City of Doncaster and Templestowe. Modern residents believed the name was too localised, so the name of one of the major roads was adopted. (Oddly, however, this road is localised, to the region between Bulleen and Doncaster.) The origin of Manningham Road's name is unconfirmed, but it would most likely be from the region of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, as the name Doncaster is also from Yorkshire.
