Maniniaro / Angelus Peak is a mountain in Nelson Lakes National Park, near the northwestern extent of New Zealand's main divide.

Although it is not the tallest peak in the Angelus Ridge or the wider Travers Range, Maniniaro remains a popular tramping destination and is significant to the Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō iwi, who claim mana whenua (regional authority) within the area.

According to Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō beliefs, the mountain is intrinsically linked with nearby Rotomaninitua / Lake Angelus, with the two both said to represent the footprints of the iwi's ancestors as they embarked on their journey back to Hawaiki.

The mountain's Māori name highlights the connection which it is to nearby Rotomaninitua in the beliefs of the local Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō iwi, who see both as markers and resting places for their ancestors on their return journey to their ancestral homeland of Hawaiki.
