Peter Mackanin, Jr. (pronounced "ma KAN in") (born August 1, 1951 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former second baseman and manager in Major League Baseball who most recently served as the acting manager of the Cincinnati Reds, having replaced Jerry Narron in 2007 before being replaced at season's end by Dusty Baker. He is currently a scout for the New York Yankees.

Mackanin was drafted by the Washington Senators in the 1969 Major League Baseball Draft and made his debut with them in 1973, after they moved and became the Texas Rangers. In a 9-year career, he also played for the Montreal Expos, Philadelphia Phillies, and Minnesota Twins. He played in 548 games.

After retiring as a player, Mackanin spent many years managing and coaching in the minor leagues. He became the Expos' third base coach in 1997 and spent four years in that position. After managing the Nashville Sounds from 2000-2002, he became bench coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates for the 2003 season. [1] After Lloyd McClendon was fired, Mackanin served as the Pirates' interim manager for the last month of 2005, leading the team to a 12-14 record.

Mackanin was named the interim manager of the Reds on July 1, 2007 after the team fired Jerry Narron, after he led the Reds in the first half of the 2007 season to a league-worst 51 losses. He had been the advance scout for the Reds before being named manager. The Reds decided not to hire Mackanin on permanently for the 2008 campaign, instead deciding on veteran experience with Dusty Baker.

He is a graduate of Brother Rice High School in Chicago.
