Brandon Manning (born June 4, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who currently plays for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Prior to turning professional, Manning played major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League with the Chilliwack Bruins.
On November 23, 2010, during the 2010–11 season with Chilliwack, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Manning as an undrafted free agent.
On March 8, 2012, after playing 32 games (9 points) for Adirondack Phantoms in 2011–12 AHL season, he was called up to the Flyers main roster to replace injured Pavel Kubina. He made his NHL debut the same day in a home game against Florida Panthers. On August 27, 2014, Manning signed a one-year contract to stay with the Flyers.
On March 21, 2016, Manning scored his first career NHL goal against Thomas Greiss of the New York Islanders.
On December 8, 2016, during a game against the Edmonton Oilers, Oilers star Connor McDavid claimed Manning boasted on-ice that he intentionally broke McDavid's collarbone the year before which had sidelined McDavid for 37 games, which he labelled as "classless" in a post game interview. Manning denied the claim.
