List of communities in Manitoba

Communities in the Province of Manitoba, Canada include incorporated municipalities, unincorporated communities and First Nations communities.

The administration of urban and rural municipalities is regulated by The Municipal Act.[1] Some municipalities have since amalgamated, making this list inaccurate.
