The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (renamed in 1981 from the International Center for Economic Policy Studies) is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit[4] conservative think tank focused on domestic policy and urban affairs.[5][1] The institute's focus covers a wide variety of issues including healthcare, higher education, public housing, prisoner reentry, and policing.[6] It was established in Manhattan in 1978 by Antony Fisher and William J. Casey.[7]

The institute produces materials including books, articles, interviews, speeches, op-eds, policy research, and the quarterly publication City Journal. It is a key think tank and ranked in the Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI) published by the University of Pennsylvania.[8] Its current president is Reihan Salam, who has led the organization since being appointed in 2019.[9]
