Manlobi (also: Malobi^[2]) is a village of Ndyuka Maroons in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname. The village is located on an island in the Tapanahony River.^[1]

Man was built by runaways from the plantations.^[3] In 1797, it was reported that there was a village on this location.^[4]

Manlobi has a school, and a Methodist church.^[2] In 2010, a communication mast was placed on the Berayu [nl] mountain near the village, providing the village with mobile phone access.^[5]

In 2007, Freedom Resources, a gold mining company, procured a large concession on the left shore of the river and built a settlement near the landing ground with a supermarket.^[6] The mining activities have attracted skalians, illegal gold dredges, who pollute the river with mercury.^[1]

In 2009, the short documentary Trypps #6 by Ben Russell was shot in Manlobi.^[7]
