Grade II listed buildings in Manchester

There are many Grade II listed buildings in the city of Manchester, Greater Manchester, England. The majority of Manchester's listed buildings date from the Victorian (1837–1901) and Edwardian (1901–1911) eras, most as a consequence of the Industrial Revolution. In England and Wales, the authority for listing is granted by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and is administered by English Heritage, an agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. There are three categories of listing – Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II.

Grade I is the highest listing category usually reserved for buildings of international stature; only 2.5% of listed buildings are Grade I. Grade II* comprises 5.5% of all listed building and are historic works worthy of special interest. The lowest and most common listing is Grade II, reserved for works which are architecturally, culturally or historically notable and warrant preservation. Manchester has fifteen Grade I listed buildings and 80 Grade II* listed buildings. This list concerns Grade II buildings in Manchester.
