East Mani (Greek: Ανατολική Μάνη - Anatolikí Máni) is a Greek municipality in the Peloponnese administrative region, in the regional unit of modern Laconia. Its seat of administration is the town of Gytheio. It covers the southern portion of the mountainous and rocky Mani Peninsula, a geographic and cultural region long considered distinct and isolated relative to the rest of Greece. The neighboring municipality West Mani to its northwest encompasses the remainder of the Mani Peninsula. Both municipalities were established in 2011 following reforms to Greek administrative divisions.
