The Lord of Mann is the current ruler of the Isle of Man. The title is Lord regardless of gender (and the spelling is with two N's though the island has only one in English). The current Lord of Mann is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Prior to 1504, the ruler of the Isle of Man was the King of Mann.

In 1765, Charlotte Murray, 8th Baroness Strange sold the island to the British government for £70,000 and the reigning Monarch of the United Kingdom became the Lord of Mann.
