Blanche McManus (1869–1935) was an American writer and artist who collaborated extensively with her husband, Milburg Francisco Mansfield. Together, the couple authored and illustrated a series of travel books that captured the spirit of journeying in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Their collaborative works were particularly notable for incorporating information about automobiles, which were a novel technology at the time. Through these illustrated guides, McManus and her husband documented the early era of motorized travel for contemporary readers.
