Manada Gap is an unincorporated community in East Hanover Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, United States, located in the Harrisburg-Carlisle area, near Fort Indiantown Gap.

Its exact location is unknown, but records indicate that it stood on what was the property of William Rhoads, about 300 yards west of Manada Creek, about midway between it and the road to Jonestown and three-quarters of a mile south of Manada Gap.

[3] Captain Smith and his company were mustered into provincial service early in January 1756 and were ordered to establish a defense or occupy and improve the existing defense at Swatara and Manada.

[4]: 341  As in the case of Fort Hunter, the settlers at Manada Gap had already constructed a stockaded blockhouse in late 1755.

The garrison, probably around 20 men, was spread between the fort and settlers' homes, protecting the dwellings and the workers in the field.
