Laxman Bapu Mane (Devanagari: लक्ष्माण बापू माने) (b. 1949) is a Marathi writer and a social activitist from Maharashtra, India.

Mane was born on June 1, 1949 in a nomadic Kakadi tribe in India. He received in 1973 a B.A. from Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu College in Kolhapur^[1].

Mane converted to Buddhism along with others from his community^[2].

His autobiography Upara (उपरा) received a Sahitya Akademi Award in 1981. The book brought to the attention of the public in Maharashtra the problems of nomadic tribes arising out of their social and economic conditions.
