Manilyn Reynes-Jimenez (born April 27, 1972 in Cebu, Philippines) is a Filipina actress and singer.

At a very young age, her parents noticed her interest in music, encouraging her to join in various singing contests in Cebu. It was not long before Bobit Avila saw her perform, and convinced her and her parents to go to Manila to try their luck.

In Manila, Bobit presented Manilyn, then only 10, to Mother Lily, owner and producer of Regal Films. After the meeting she was offered a contract. For her first film, she worked with film actress Gloria Romero in " To Mama With Love ". That same year, her first album Apple Thoughts was released, followed by a Christmas album entitled Manilyn Christmas. As a child actress, she won the Best Child Actress FAMAS Award for two consecutive years. Her achievements as a young star are still unbeaten. Together with Sheryl Cruz and Kristina Paner, they formed a group called "The Triplets". During her teenage days, she was paired up with Janno Gibbs who later became her boyfriend in real life. They both starred in movies like Feel na Feel, Kung Sino Pang Minahal, Stupid Cupid, Love Letters, Ligaw-ligawan, Kasal-kasalan, Bahay-bahayan, Love ko si Ma'am, Me and Ninja Liit, Magic to Love, Jack en Poy: Hale-Hale Hoy, Super Inday and the Golden Bibe. Manilyn was also linked to other actors like Ogie Alcasid and Kempee De Leon. During her break up with Janno Gibbs in 1988, her self-titled album was released which includes the hit song "Sayang na Sayang" which was later revived by another Cebuana singer Sheryn Regis. In 1990, her debut album titled Heartbeat was released which includes the hit songs "Feel na Feel" and "Ikaw pa rin". All of her albums are certified gold and platinum awards.
