Manufahi is one of the districts of East Timor. It has a population of 44,235 (2004 census) and an area of 1,325 km². The capital of the district is Same. The subdistricts are Alas, Fatuberliu, Same, and Turiscai. In the times of the Portuguese colony, the district was called Same, after the capital city. During the Indonesian occupation the subdistrict Hatudo was split off from the district and joined to Ainaro, and the subdistrict Turiscai, previously in Ainaro, was moved to Manufahi.

Manufahi lies on the south coast of East Timor, on the Timor Sea. It borders the district Manatuto to the east, Ainaro to the west, and Aileu to the north.

Besides the national official languages of Tetum and Portuguese, the Malayo-Polynesian language Mambai is also spoken.
