This article is about the musical group. For the eating disorder (a portmanteau of "man" and "anorexia"), see anorexia nervosa.

Manorexia is an instrumental side-project of industrial musician J. G. Thirlwell (primarily of Foetus). Manorexia was formed in 2001.

As opposed to Thirlwell's other instrumental group, Steroid Maximus, Manorexia features no collaborators and eschews musical structure for a more free-form and spontaneous approach. The results are often described as cinematic and textural. In keeping with Manorexia's DIY ethic, all albums to date have been released on Thirlwell's own Ectopic Entertainment label and have been sold only at concerts or via the Official Foetus Website.

A trilogy of Manorexia albums has long been discussed, and a tentative 2006 release date has been given for the final installment.
