A New Testament minuscule is a copy of a portion of the New Testament written in a small, cursive Greek script (developed from Uncial). Most of the minuscules are still written on parchment. Paper was used since the 12th century.

New Testament minuscules are distinct from:

New Testament papyri — written on papyrus and more ancient than minuscules; New Testament uncials — written in uncial script (i.e. all capital letters) also more ancient than minuscules; and, List of New Testament lectionaries — usually written minuscule (but some in uncial) letters and generally contemporary.
