Männedorf (High Alemannic: Mänidoorf) is a municipality in the district of Meilen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

Like in all other villages along the lake of Zürich, archeological findings indicate settlements in the stone ages.

The original settlement dates from the 7th or 8th century; the name Mannidorf ("Village of Manno", a personal name, possibly of a nobleman[3]) is mentioned in 933.

[4] The upright otter on a golden background in the coats of arm is derived from that of the medieval provost Eberhard Ottikon.

After the opening of the Lake Zurich right bank railway from Zürich to Rapperswil in 1894 the village blossomed.

By today Männedorf has become part of the Zürich agglomeration like all the villages in the region.

Of the rest of the land, 40.6% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (0.4%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

[10] In summer, Männedorf is served by regular ship services between Zurich and Rapperswil, run by the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (ZSG) and calling at various lake side towns.

A passenger ferry, operated on an hourly basis throughout the year by the same company, links Männedorf with Wädenswil on the opposite shore of the lake.
