Manton Colliery was a coal mine in north Nottinghamshire (Bassetlaw).

The land was owned by Henry Pelham-Clinton, 7th Duke of Newcastle.

Shafts were dug through Sherwood Sandstone and Lower Magnesian Limestone.

In 1979, over a million tonnes of coal was extracted from the pit; most went to the CEGB's Cottam Power Station.

Once privatisation of the electricity industry had taken place in 1990, power stations were under less onus to burn coal as a primary form of power (base load), known as the Dash for Gas, which may have largely led to the pit's closure.
