Higher education in Manitoba traces the development and expansion of higher or advanced education in the province of Manitoba.

Manitoba was the first western territory to join confederation and the first to establish a university. Today, just under 10% of the total population holds at least a bachelor's degree.

Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, as there is no national regulation nor accrediting body. Accordingly, education in Manitoba falls under the portfolio of the provincial Ministers of Advanced Education and of Economic Development and Jobs. Currently, The Advanced Education Administration Act outlines the post-secondary education and advanced learning system in Manitoba.
