The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) is a federally recognized Métis government. Its current president is David Chartrand. In September of 2021, the MMF withdrew from the Métis National Council, due to that organization's failure to uphold the 2002 nationally accepted definition of Métis.^[1]^[2]

The first non-elected Board of Directors was Adam Cuthand, Joe Keeper and Alfred Disbrowe.

The successive presidents of the MMF have been the following.
