Mokbula Manzoor or Makbula Manzoor (Bengali: মকবুলা মনজুর, born 1938 (1939 or 1945 also cited)) is a Bangladeshi author and novelist. Author Syedur Rahman cites her together with Akhtaruzzaman Ilias, Selina Hossain and Hasan Hafizur Rahman as one of the notable contributors to modern Bangladeshi literature.[1]

Manzoor is noted for writing from a woman's perspective in a male-dominated society; her 1998 novel Kaler Mandira is one such example, and references female exploitation during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. She is considered to be an outstanding Bangladeshi female writer, inspired by the events which led to the creation of the country in 1971.[2]
