The River Manifold is a river in Staffordshire, England. It is a tributary of the River Dove (which also flows through the Peak District, forming the boundary between Derbyshire and Staffordshire).

The Manifold rises at Flash Head[2] just south of Buxton near Axe Edge,[3] at the northern edge of the White Peak, known for its limestone beds. It continues for 12 miles (19 km)[4] before it joins the Dove. For part of its course, it runs underground (except when in spate), from Wetton Mill to Ilam.[2] During this section it is joined by its major tributary, the River Hamps.

Villages on the river include Longnor, Hulme End and Ilam.

Its name may come from Anglo-Saxon manig-fald = "many folds", referring to its meanders.
