Manuel Mota (born October 22, 1970) is an experimental jazz and blues guitarist from Lisbon, Portugal. He started playing guitar at 15 and made his work public in 1989. Between 1989 and 1997 he experimented with prepared guitar, mainly acoustic, and focused on drone music, influenced by Phil Niblock and La Monte Young.
