Mahanoy City (/ˈmɑːˌhɑːnɔɪ/ MAH-hah-noy) is a borough located 38 miles (61 km) southwest of Wilkes-Barre and 13 miles southwest of Hazleton, in northern Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of the Coal Region of Pennsylvania and is surrounded by (but not part of) Mahanoy Township.

The name Mahanoy is believed to be a variation of the Delaware word Maghonioy, or "the salt deposits".
