A manhole cover extractor for loosening and lifting a cover by using rods in slots in the top of the cover or drain holes in the cover, the extractor having an elongated head with one end shaped as a sledge hammer and the other end shaped as a tapered, curved arm having a rounded bottom with a pointed pry tip. The curvature of the arm is along a tangent to the bottom center of the arm to position the pry tip under a rod or in a drain hole to engage the bottom of the cover. Serration's on the top of the arm to seat a rod in the slot or a drain hole. A hole in the center of the head receives a handle for swinging the sledge hammer to loosen the cover and to act as a lever for the pry tip when the handle is lifted and pulled.
