Manning Commercial Historic District is a national historic district located at Manning, Clarendon County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 46 contributing buildings and 1 contributing object in the central business district of Manning, county seat for Clarendon County. Manning's downtown is dominated by its 1909 Neo-Classical, red brick courthouse set at the center of a landscaped courthouse square. The commercial district is characterized by one- and two-part commercial block buildings, many of them brick, that were constructed during the late-19th and early-20th century. The buildings are characterized by oblique and angled entrances, intriguing decorative cornices and corbeling, and a preponderance of parapeted rooflines give the Manning Commercial Historic District a clear and unmistakable association with the architecture typical of the early-20th century. In addition to the courthouse, other notable buildings include the U.S. Post Office and Federal Building, Coffey-Rigby Livery Stable, Clarendon Furniture Store, Leonard Building, Manning Hotel, Brailsford Grocery / Schwartz Building, Cut Rate Drug Store, and Pure Oil Service Station.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
