Erica mannii is a species of flowering plant in the heath family, Ericaceae. It is a shrub or tree native to tropical Africa, ranging across Central Africa from Kenya to Mozambique, Angola, and Democratic Republic of the Congo, and to Nigeria, Cameroon, and the Gulf of Guinea Islands.

It is native to tropical African mountains, where it grows in Afromontane scrub and thickets and in the high-elevation ericaceous belt, a transition between upper montane forests and higher-elevation subalpine grassland.^[3]^[4]
