Donald A. Manzullo (born March 24, 1944), American politician, has been a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 1993, representing Illinois's 16th congressional district (map).

Manzullo was born in Rockford, Illinois and attended Auburn High School. He was educated at American University in Washington, D.C., from which he received a bachelor's degree, and Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from which he earned a law degree. Manzullo practiced as an attorney before entering politics and winning a House seat in 1992. He is married to Freda Manzullo and is the father of Neil, Noel and Katie Manzullo. He lives in Egan, Illinois.

Manzullo has worked on issues related to the manufacturing sector since his first election to Congress. He was featured on the cover of The Manufacturer because of his work with small business-related policy. From 2001 to 2006 he oversaw the Committee on Small Business as chairman. He held over sixty hearings during this time to investigate the phenomenon of corporate outsourcing. Manzullo has also worked on transportation issues. His ability to gain great funding for highway improvements within his district has given him somewhat of a reputation as a pork barreller. He recently authored a law that requires clinics to report instances of child abuse.

Manzullo represents a moderately Republican district. He has never fallen below 55% of the vote in any of his runs for Congress. In 2006, he defeated Galena, Illinois Democratic mayor, Richard D. Auman, by a margin of 66%-33%.
