Minton & Co (also called Mintons) was a pottery and porcelain manufacturer, based in England. It is also called the "Europe's leading ceramic factory during the Victorian era". The factory founded in Stoke-on-Trent in 1793/6 by Thomas Minton (1765-1836), who was succeeded on his death by his son, Herbert Minton (1793-1858). The factory traded under various styles until 1845 when Minton & Co. was adopted. In 1868 the firm split into two parts, one for tiles only, the other for china (though it also made tiles). The two names, Minton & Co and Mintons, are often used indiscriminately.

There were a number of further changes, leading to different names for different parts of the business. In 1845 the tile business became a separate department, trading as Minton & Co for encaustic or inlaid tiles which were mostly floor tiles, and as Minton, Hollins & Co for printed or painted or majolica wall tiles. After Herbert Minton's death in 1858, the tile business was continued by Michael Daintry Hollins, who had become a partner in 1845, while the china business was continued by Colin Minton Campbell. Hollins and Campbell carried on in partnership until 1868, when they split up, Hollins carrying on the tile business, and Campbell the china works, trading as Minton's China Works until 1918.

In 1869, Robert Minton Taylor set up a new tile factory, trading as Robert Minton Taylor, until he was bought out by Campbell in 1875 as the Campbell Brick & Tile Co. Both the Campbell Tile Co and Minton, Hollins & Co were absorbed by H & R Johnson-Richards in the 1960s.
