Manych (Russian: Маныч) is a river in southern Russia, tributary to the river Don. Its source is in the southern part of the Russian republic Kalmykia. It flows through the city Proletarsk and joins the river Don in Manychskaya, east of the city Rostov-on-Don.
There are a number of reservoirs on the Manych.
If the plans for the proposed Eurasia Canal, linking the Caspian Sea with the Black Sea, are ever implemented, it will likely follow the Manych valley in its western section.
