Minimes Lock (French: écluse des Minimes) is a single chamber lock on the Canal du Midi in Toulouse. Built around 1670 as a double chamber lock, it had to be modernised to conform to the Freycinet standard and became a single chamber lock.[1]

Minimes Lock is at an altitude of 139m and is ascending when travelling west–east. The adjacent locks are Béarnais Lock to the west and Bayard Lock to the east.
