Minto is a village and parish in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland in Roxburghshire county. It is located 6 miles (10 kilometres) north-east of Hawick, north of the River Teviot.

The name consists of Cumbric *mïnïδ ("mountain") and Old English hōh (“hill spur, promontory”), neighbouring areas were recorded as Munethov in 1166 and Mynetowe in 1296.

The parish is bounded on the west by the former parish of Wilton (united with Hawick in 1895), on the north by Lilliesleaf, on the east by Ancrum and on the south by the parish of Cavers, whose boundary partially follows the River Teviot, and the village of Denholm within that parish. Fatlips Castle and Hassendean are within the parish.

Minto village is a Conservation Area as designated by Scottish Borders Council.

Minto House, the former seat of the Earls of Minto, which became derelict over the decades, was demolished in 1992.

The demolition occurred under very dubious circumstances with the owner being chair of the planning committee.

Minto comes within the area of Denholm and District Community Council, whose area north of the Teviot is roughly the same area as Minto civil parish, except for the Appletreehall area in the west. Appletreehall is a hamlet of Wilton parish.

The civil parish has an area of 5,601 acres (2,267 hectares).
