The Mahatma Gandhi Statue in Manchester is a bronze sculpture of Mahatma Gandhi, located in the city center of Manchester, England, close to the Cathedral. The statue was unveiled on November 25, 2019, to mark the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth. It was designed by artist Ram V Sutar.

The statue is approximately 9ft tall and depicts Gandhi in his traditional dhoti and shawl. The statue is situated in a prominent location close to the Manchester Cathedral. Gandhi had visited Manchester on his way to see mill workers in Lancashire in 1931.
