The '''''Manual of the Planes''''' (abbreviated '''MoP'''<ref name="D&Dfaq">{{cite web|url=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnDArchives_FAQ.asp |title=''Dungeons & Dragons'' FAQ |access-date=October 3, 2008 |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514204427/http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnDArchives_FAQ.asp |archive-date=May 14, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>) is a manual for the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' [[role-playing game]]. This text addresses the [[Plane (Dungeons & Dragons)|planar cosmology]] of the game universe.

The original book (for use with ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' 1st Edition) was published in 1987 by [[TSR, Inc]].<ref>{{cite book| title=Manual of the Planes| isbn=0-88038-399-2| year=1987| publisher=TSR, Inc| first=Jeff| last=Grubb}}</ref>  For 2nd Edition, concern over inclusion of [[angel]]s and [[demon]]s led TSR to forgo the release, though they compensated years later with the [[Planescape]] campaign setting.  A third edition version of the ''Manual of the Planes'' was published in 2001 by [[Wizards of the Coast]], while a new version for 4th Edition debuted in 2008.
