Lucius Manlius (Acidinus) was an ancient Roman noble of the gens Manlius who stood as quaestor in 168 BC.^[1] He is probably one of the two Manlii Acidini who are mentioned two years before as illustrious youths, and of whom one was the son of Marcus Manlius, the other of Lucius Manlius.^[2] The latter is probably the same as the quaestor, and the son of Lucius Manlius Acidinus Fulvianus.^[3]
