Xyriel Manabat is a Filipino actress who first gained recognition after placing third runner-up in the talent search program Star Circle Kid Quest (2009). Her breakthrough came with the dual role of identical twins in the fantasy drama Agua Bendita (2010); its success led to subsequent roles in Momay, her first leading role on television, and her feature film debut Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To!. The latter earned her the Star Award and Metro Manila Film Festival for Best Child Performer.
Manabat's profile increased following her performance in 100 Days to Heaven (2011), for which she was awarded the Box Office Entertainment Award for Most Popular Female Child Performer. For her role in the independently produced film A Mother's Story (2011), she won the FAMAS and Star Award for Best Child Actress. The following year, Manabat starred in month-long specials of the fantasy anthology Wansapanataym and played a mysterious spirit in the psychological horror film Amorosa where she received a FAMAS Award nomination. In 2015, she portrayed a girl diagnosed with progeria in the drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya, winning the Gawad Tanglaw for Best Single Performance by an Actress.
Following her brief appearance in the revenge drama Wildflower (2017), Manabat took a six-year break from acting. She returned in 2023 through the mystery drama series Dirty Linen and Senior High.
