This is a list of protected areas of Manitoba that are part of the provincial protected areas network.
There are four different types of protected areas (excluding national parks):
- Provincial parks, which are further subdivided into five classes:
- Wilderness parks
- Natural parks
- Recreation parks
- Heritage parks
- Park reserves
- Ecological reserves
- Wildlife management areas
- Traditional use planning areas
There are also two Provincial Forests that are within the bounds of provincial parks, and a series of lands privately owned by three conservation agencies which are part of the provincial protected areas network.
