is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 54,743.

Manchester was settled by colonists around 1672 as a farming community. The many rivers and brooks provided power for paper, lumber and textile industries, and the town quickly evolved into an important industrial center.

In 1838, the Cheney family started what became the world's largest silk mill. Eventually, Manchester became an ideal industrial community. The mills, houses of the owners, and homes of the workers are now part of a National Historic Landmark District.

Many of the buildings on Main Street and Hartford Road reflect the rich industrial and cultural heritage of the silk age.
