Manifold Heights is a residential suburb of Geelong. At the 2016 census, Manifold Heights had a population of 2,649.

It was named after Manifolds’ vineyards, that existed between Minerva Road and Shannon Avenue, immediately east of the Geelong Western Cemetery in Herne Hill. The vineyards were owned by the prominent Western District pastoralists, John and Peter Manifold.

The Post Office opened on 25 March 1929, but has always been known as Manifold.
