Mangesh (Arabic: مانكيش,[2] Kurdish: مانگێش,[3] Syriac: ܡܢܓܝܫ)[4][a] is a village and sub-district in Dohuk Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

[9] Amidst the Iran–Iraq War, the village was seized by Iranian paratroopers and 1000 Peshmerga soldiers on 15 May 1986 as part of Operation Dawn 9 in an effort to threaten the Kirkuk–Dörtyol oil pipeline.

[16] In 1989, Kurdish families were forcibly resettled in Mangesh by the Iraqi government, until which point the village was solely inhabited by Assyrians who spoke Chaldean Neo-Aramaic.

[19] On 13 December 1997, seven unarmed Assyrian civilians from Mangesh were ambushed by Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) militants, and six were killed in the attack.

[1] In September 2013, Assyrians of Mangesh reported that they suffered from persecution and intimidation from the Kurdistan Regional Government, and were coerced into supporting the KDP.

[21] Mangesh became a place of refuge for 77 Syriac Orthodox families from the vicinity of Alqosh who had fled the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant offensive on 6 August 2014.
