Minox (pronounced ) is a manufacturer of cameras, known especially for its subminiature camera.

The first product to carry the Minox name was a subminiature camera, conceived in 1922, and finally produced in 1936, by Baltic German Walter Zapp. The Latvian factory VEF () manufactured the camera from 1937 to 1943. After World War II, the camera was redesigned and production resumed in West Germany in 1948.
