St Columb Minor (Cornish: Sen Kolumm Vyghan) (Latin: Columba Minor Sancta) is a village in the civil parish of Newquay, on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

St Columb alone by default refers to the nearby St Columb Major; both the town and the village are named after the 6th century saint Columba of Cornwall and have churches dedicated to her. The village of St Columb Minor dates back to the 11th century, however a settlement existed much earlier under the Manor of Rialton, it has now been absorbed by its larger neighbour Newquay. While the village is still an ecclesiastical parish, St Columb Minor is no longer a civil parish, forming part of Newquay.
