Mangles Bay (32°16′S 115°43′E / 32.267°S 115.717°E) is a bay of Cockburn Sound in Western Australia which opens out to the Indian Ocean. The town of Rockingham is on its coast, and the causeway to Garden Island runs along its southern edge. It may have been named for Admiral Sir Henry Mangles Denham.
The bay's seabed consists of the Mangles Bay shallows, which is covered in seagrass meadows; and the Mangles Bay deep basin, a much deeper area slightly to the north.
Mangles Bay is a popular recreation area. It is used for fishing, water sports such as sailing, water skiing, boating and swimming.
