The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission is a Crown Agency mandated with regulating, distributing and selling beverage alcohol in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The Liquor Control Commission of Manitoba (or MLCC, LC or The Commission as it is locally known) was established in 1923 to control the sale of alcoholic beverages in Manitoba. The Liquor Control Act empowers the Commission to buy, import and sell liquor; control the possession, sale and transportation of liquor; and to establish liquor outlets throughout the province of Manitoba.

In 2007, Manitoba Liquor Control Commission was named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, as published in Maclean's magazine, the only liquor licensing authority in Canada to receive this honour.[1]

It is headquartered in Winnipeg.
