Manganese oxide is any of a variety of manganese oxides and hydroxides. ^[1] These include

• Manganese(II) oxide, MnO
• Manganese(II,III) oxide, Mn₃O₄
• Manganese(III) oxide, Mn₂O₃
• Manganese dioxide, MnO₂
• Manganese(VI) oxide, MnO₃
• Manganese(VII) oxide, Mn₂O₇

Other manganese oxides include Mn₅O₈, Mn₇O₁₂ and Mn₇O₁₃.
