Manisha B. Koirala (Nepali: मनीषा कोइराला) (born August 16, 1970) is a Nepali-Indian actress who works in Indian films, as well as a UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador and social activist. Koirala has primarily worked in Hindi cinema, though she has appeared in several Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films as well. She is also an accomplished Bharatnatyam and Manipuri dancer.

Making her acting debut in the Nepali film, Pheri Bhetaula (1989), Koirala made her Bollywood debut with Subhash Ghai's top-grossing drama, Saudagar (1991). She went on to establish herself as one of the best-known actresses in India, mostly recognised for her critically acclaimed performances.
Noted for her portrayals of strong dramatic characters, Koirala often ventured into serious and realistic cinema with films like 1942: A Love Story (1994), Bombay (1995), Khamoshi: The Musical (1996) and Dil Se (1998). Although box office collections of her films have varied considerably, critics have noted that her niche as an actor remains unharmed irrespective of box office collections.
