Manitoba Theatre for Young People (MTYP) is a theatre for children and young adults in The Forks area of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. As of 2012, MTYP's annual attendance regularly exceeds 100,000.
Within the theatre complex are two performance venues: a 315-seat Main Stage and a smaller hall.

The building also features four classroom studios, production and wardrobe shops, a greenroom, two full dressing rooms, a box office, and lobby. The theatre is 5,270 square feet in size with a 1,344 square feet stage area. The black-box style theatre seats up to 315 and is reconfigurable.
