The Lord of Mann or Lord of Man (Manx: Chiarn Vanninagh) is the head of state of the Isle of Man. The current Lord of Mann is Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (Manx: Ben-Rein Ealisaid II dy Reeriaght Unnaneyssit).

The title is now Lord of Mann regardless of sex. However, during her reign Queen Victoria was styled as Lady of Man.[1]

The formal Latin style is Dominus Manniae.

The title is not correctly used on its own. The title of Lord of Mann (and previously, King of Mann) has existed in a position of feudality beneath the Crown of the United Kingdom (before 1801, Great Britain; before 1707, England), and is not fully sovereign except by virtue of personal union with the Crown. For this reason, the form of Loyal Toast used on Man is The Queen, Lord of Mann.

Prior to 1504, the ruler of the Isle of Man was the King of Mann.

In 1765, Charlotte Murray, 8th Baroness Strange sold the suzerainty of the island to the British government for £70,000 and the reigning Monarch of the United Kingdom became the Lord of Mann.
