Marquis Min of Jin (simplified Chinese: 晋侯缗; traditional Chinese: 晉侯緡; pinyin: Jìn Hóumín), Ancestral name is Ji(姬), given name is Min (緡), was the seventh ruler of the state of Jin. He was also the seventh ruler of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. When Duke Wu of Quwo killed Marquis Xiaozi of Jin, King Huan of Zhou put Ji Min into the throne and he became Marquis Min of Jin. He reigned for 27 years.

In 678 BCE, in the 28th year of his reign, Duke Wu of Quwo attacked and conquered Jin. Duke Wu of Quwo offered gifts to King Xi of Zhou, who in turn made Duke Wu of Quwo the next ruler of Jin and gave him the title of Duke Wu of Jin (晉武公). Quwo finally annexed Jin and changed its name to Jin.
