Manju Bala Swami (born 1 July 1989) is an Indian track and field athlete competing in the hammer throw. She won the bronze medal in the event in the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea.
Her bronze medal was briefly upgraded to silver after the original winner Zhang Wenxiu failed a doping test,[1][2][3] but Zhang was later reinstated as the winner.[4]
