Date 10 June 1995 (1995-06-10) – 12 June 1995 (1995-06-12)
Location Manningham, Bradford, UK

The Manningham riot was a short but intense period of rioting which took place from 9-11 June 1995,[1] in the district of Manningham in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.

A series of widely publicised riots and racial disturbances have occurred in this part of Bradford since the mid 1990s, which have often been attributed to the segregation that has been identified between the various ethnic groups present in the city. The riot of summer 1995 was limited to a relatively confined area of the city, but was seen as indicative of the circumstances which led to the later and more widespread Bradford Riot of July 2001.[2]
