Jason Minett (born 12 August 1971) is a former professional football defender who began his career with Norwich City.

His Carrow Road career was limited by injuries, although he went on to play for Exeter city and Lincoln City in the Football League. In 1998, he dropped into non-league football joining Doncaster Rovers and then Boston United. His career at Boston stalled when he suffered a broken leg in the 3–0 FA Trophy victory over Tamworth on 13 January 2001. Regaining fitness, he joined King's Lynn ahead of the 2001–02 season. In January 2002, he joined Stocksbridge Park Steels on loan. In April 2002, he moved on to Grantham Town,{{cite web |url=http://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/sport/FOOTBALL-TOWN-SEAL-LASTMINETT-DEAL.405986.jp |title=Town seal last-Minett deal |date=4 April 2002 |publisher=Grantham Journal |accessdate=10 June 2008}} agreeing a contract for the following two seasons.
