Avro 679 Manchester je bil britanski dvomotorni težki bombnik, ki ga je razvil Avro med 2. svetovno vojno. Uporabljali sta ga Kraljeve letalske sile (RAF) in Kraljeve kanadske letalske sile (RCAF). Posebnost Manchestra je, da je za pogon uporabljal X-motorja in sicer dva 24-valjna Rolls-Royce Vulture. Kljub 1760 konjskim silam vsak, sta bila motorja za to letalo prešibka in nezanesljiva. Manchester je imel bombni tovor slabih pet ton, kar je bilo sorazmerno veliko za dvomotorni bombnik tistega časa. Proizvodnja Manchestra je trajala samo dve leti in obsegala okrog 200 letal. Je bil Manchester predhodnik zelo uspešnega Avro Lancastra.
