Manly is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, and covers a large portion of the Northern Beaches Council local government area . Created in 1927, although it has historically tended to be a Liberal-leaning seat, Manly has had a history of strong independent local members and support. It has most recently been represented by the former Premier of New South Wales, Mike Baird of the Liberal Party of Australia. It is also located in the federal Division of Warringah, which is represented by The Honourable Tony Abbott MP, former Prime Minister of Australia.

On 23 January 2017, Mike Baird resigned as Premier and Member for Manly, which will trigger a by-election in the district.
