Fabian Manning (born May 24, 1964) is a politician in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He is the Conservative Party of Canada Member of Parliament for the riding of Avalon. Born in St. Bride's, he served three terms on that town's council before being elected to the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly in 1993 as a Progressive Conservative. He first represented the riding of St.Mary's-The Capes, in 1996 he was defeated in the redistributed riding of Placentia and St. Mary’s, but was elected in 1999.
In May 2005, he was voted out of the provincial Progressive Conservative caucus when he publicly attacked the government's crab management policies. He sat as an independent for the rest of his term. In December 2005, Manning resigned his seat on the Legislature to pursue a seat in the Canadian House of Commons despite the fact that he said he wouldn't run federally when he voted against the government. Avalon had previously been represented by John Efford, a Liberal cabinet minister, who had been elected by a wide margin in 2004. Without the powerful incumbent, however, Manning was able to take the seat for the federal Conservatives in the 2006 federal election.
As part of Stephen Harper's Conservative caucus, he is currently a member of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans and the Standing Joint Committee on the Library of Parliament.
