Manada Creek (historically Monodoy Creek) ^[1]^[2] is a 17.0-mile-long (27.4 km) ^[3] tributary of Swatara Creek in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The watershed drains approximately 32 sq mi (83 km).

The name is derived in Lenape, meaning "an island".^[4] The creek is born in Blue Mountain at Fort Indiantown Gap, East Hanover Township. It meanders southwest to flow through Manada Gap, Pennsylvania creating a water gap through Blue Mountain. The creek continues through West Hanover Township in Dauphin County, passing through forests and agricultural farmland. Here, it enters the border between East Hanover and West Hanover townships. Walnut Run joins Manada Creek throughout the eastern border East Hanover Township. The creek passes under Interstate 81 and US Route 22 before it joins Swatara Creek along the outskirts of the unincorporated community of Sand Beach.
