Ansumane Mané (b. 1940 - d. 30 November 2000) was a Guinea-Bissau soldier who led a 1998 uprising against the government of President João Bernardo Vieira, which caused a brief, but bloody Civil War. After Vieira was deposed in a 7 May 1999 military coup, Mané became temporary head of state (official title: Chairman of the Supreme Command of the Military Junta) until 14 May when National People's Assembly speaker Malam Bacai Sanhá was installed as acting President.
Mané was killed during a shootout with government forces on 30 November 2000, following an attempted coup against the government of President Kumba Ialá.
