Mani is a Local Government Area in Katsina State, Nigeria.

Traditionally, Mani is indisputably believed to be the root of the Sullubawa ruling dynasty of the Katsina Emirate, because the founder of the dynasty, Muhammadu Dikko, was the District Head of Mani during the reign of Sarkin Katsina Abubakar.

From then onward, the traditional ruler of the District was known and called Durbin Katsina and one of the king makers of the emirate.

Recently, the traditional title of the Head of the District was briefly changed to Sarkin Gabas Katsina and later reverted to the original title of Durbin Katsina.
