A village is an incorporated urban municipality in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Under the province's Municipal Act of 1997, a community must have a minimum population of 1,000 and a minimum density of 400 people per square kilometre to incorporate as an urban municipality. As an urban municipality, the community has the option to be named a village, town or urban municipality. It also has the option of being named a city once it has a minimum population of 7,500.
Manitoba has two villages that have a cumulative population of 1,933 in the Canada 2016 census. There were several communities with village status prior to January 1, 2015, when most were eliminated through municipal amalgamations. St-Pierre-Jolys, which has a population of 1,170, is the only village surpassing the Municipal Act's 1,000-person threshold. Dunnottar, which has a population of 763, has been granted an exemption from the minimum population requirement.
