Timothy Cardinal Manning (born Ballingeary, Ireland on November 15, 1909 - died in Los Angeles, California on June 23, 1989) was a Roman Catholic Cardinal-Priest who was archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California.

Manning studied Catholic theology at Saint Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California and in Rome, and was ordained a priest for the former Diocese of Los Angeles-San Diego in 1934. In 1946 he became an auxiliary bishop of the Archidiocese of Los Angeles, and in 1955 became Vicar General of the archdiocese. In 1967, Pope Paul VI appointed him first bishop of the Diocese of Fresno.

Shortly thereafter he returned to Los Angeles as Coadjutor Archbishop, and on January 21, 1970 he succeeded James Cardinal McIntyre as ordinary. He was elevated to Cardinal at consistory in 1973, becoming Cardinal-Priest of Santa Lucia a Piazza d′Armi. In 1974, Manning testified [1] before the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary as a result of the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade.

Manning served as archbishop of Los Angeles until his retirement in 1985.
