The Mindel is a river in Bavaria, southern Germany. It flows into the Danube east of Günzburg. The Mindel originates west of Kaufbeuren, in the Allgäu region, and flows generally north. The towns Mindelheim and Thannhausen lie along the Mindel.

The Mindel gave its name to the Mindel Glaciation in the Alps. This glacial period (approx. 350,000 - 250,000 years before present) is called Elster Glaciation in northern Europe, and Kansan Glaciation in North America.
