In Greek mythology, Minyas (Greek: Μινύας) was the founder of Orchomenos or son of king Orchomenus, depending on the story. As the ancestor of the Minyans, a number of Boeotian genealogies (see Minyans) lead back to him, according to the classicist H.J. Rose.

His children include Clymene, mother of Phaethon, and three daughters known as the Minyades.
