Männedorf (High Alemannic: Mänidoorf) is a municipality in the district of Meilen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.
==History== thumb|upright|Aerial view by Walter Mittelholzer (1919) Like in all other villages along the lake of Zürich, archeological findings indicate settlements in the stone ages. The original settlement dates from the 7th or 8th century; the name Mannidorf ("Village of Manno", a personal name, possibly of a nobleman) is mentioned in 933. The upright otter on a golden background in the coats of arm is derived from that of the medieval provost Eberhard Ottikon.
