Manigod (French pronunciation: [maniɡo]; Arpitan: Manegôd) is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of Eastern France. In 2018, it had a population of 998.
The linked area of Manigod consists of several different ski areas: La Croix Fry, Merdassier, Manigod Village, among others.

The Plateau de Beauregard is a famous local walk with a view of Mont Blanc.[3] The River Fier has its source in the commune. Nearby villages include Thônes, La Clusaz, Saint-Jean-de-Sixt and Le Grand Bornand. Farther away are the larger cities of Annecy (prefecture) and Chamonix.
