Minuscule 788 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), ε1033 (in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament written on parchment. Using the study of comparative handwriting styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to the 11th century.[3][4]

It is one of the manuscripts comprising the group known as Family 13 (ƒ13). According to scholar Didier Lafleur it is the closest manuscript in its textual character to the archetype of the family.
