Minarets is a former settlement in Madera County, California.[1] It was located 5 miles (8 km) southeast of North Fork.[1]

A post office operated at Minarets from 1925 to 1933.[1] Minarets was the terminus of the Minarets and Western Railroad.[1]

The name Minarets was applied to a geologic feature in the county, see Minarets (California). And the name was applied to a city planned as the county seat for the then newly established Madera County located 15 miles (24 km) east of Madera.[1]
