Minucius Felix, Marcus, fl. 2d cent., Christian apologist, author of a dialogue, Octavius, one of the earliest Latin apologies. In it a pagan and a Christian discuss the merits of Christian life.

Minucius (rarely also Minicius) was a Roman nomen gentile. At the beginning of the fifth century BC it was a patrician family (existence of this branch might be fictive) and since the end of the fourth century BC a plebeian family. Nine members of this family were consuls.

Known members:

• Marcus Minucius Augurinus, consul 497 BC and 491 BC
• Publius Minucius Augurinus, consul 492 BC
• Lucius Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus, suffect consul 458 BC
• Quintus Minucius Esquilinus, consul 457 BC
• Minucius, pontifex maximus 420 BC
• Tiberius Minucius Augurinus, consul 305 BC, the first known plebeian Minucius
• Marcus Minucius Rufus (consul 221 BC)
• Quintus Minucius Rufus, consul 197 BC

• Marcus Minucius Rufus (consul 110 BC)

• Marcus Minucius Felix, Christian apologist 2nd/3rd century AD

After this family or its members were named street Via Minucia, a bridge Pons Minucia on the Via Flaminia. A columned hall on Campus Martius, the Porticus Minucia, was named after consul in 110 BC.
