Manganese(III) chloride is the hypothetical inorganic compound with the formula MnCl3.

The existence of this binary halide has not been demonstrated. Nonetheless, many derivatives of MnCl3 are known, such as MnCl3(THF)3 and the bench-stable MnCl3(OPPh3)2. Contrasting with the elusive nature of MnCl3, trichlorides of the adjacent metals on the periodic tableiron(III) chloride, chromium(III) chloride, and technetium(III) chloride—are all isolable compounds.
