Manuel I Megas Komnenos (Greek: Μανουήλ Α΄ Μέγας Κομνηνός Manouēl I Megas Komnēnos) (c. 1218 – March 1263) was Emperor of Trebizond from 1238 to 1263. Although Michael Panaretos a 14th century Greek chronicler calls Manuel the greatest general and the most fortunate and states he ruled virtuously in the eyes of God the only event he documents for Manuel’s reign is a catastrophic fire striking the city of Trebizond in January 1253.
