Manor is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. It elects three councillors to Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council using the first past the post electoral method, electing one councillor every year without election on the fourth.

This was formerly a stronghold seat for the Liberal Democrats but the incumbent councillor, Sue Derbyshire, was defeated in 2016 to Charlie Stewart, of the Labour Party.

Since the Parliamentary Boundary changes ahead of the 2024 general election the ward has been part of the Hazel Grove Constituency. Prior to this, it was in the Stockport Parliamentary Constituency. Manor ward contains Aquinas College, as well as Banks Lane Infant and Junior Schools.
