Minety is a village located in north Wiltshire, between Malmesbury and Swindon. Minety takes its name from the water mint plant found growing in ditches around the village, and has previously been known as Myntey.

From 1841 the village was served by Minety station (renamed Minety & Ashton Keynes in 1905) on the former Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway line from Gloucester to Swindon. Although the line remains open the station closed in November 1964 and has been demolished.
