Minchinhampton er en gammel Cotswold markedsby i Stroud-distriktet i Gloucestershire, Sydvestengland. Byen ligger på en højderyg, 4 miles sydøst for Stroud. Den fælles plads tilbyder brede udsigter over Severn-mundingen ind i Wales og længere ind i Cotswolds.
Stedsnavnet 'Minchinhampton' er første gang nævnt som Hantone i Dommedagsbogen fra 1086. Det fremtræder som Minchenhamtone i Assize Rolls fra 1221. Navnet var oprindeligt det oldengelske Heatun, der betyder "høj by eller bosættelse". Det supplerende element er det oldengelske mynecen, som betyder en nonne, og som er relateret til det moderne ord "munke". Minchinhampton tilhørte engang nonneriet i Caen i Normandiet, Frankrig. Dermed betyder navnet "nonnernes høje by eller bosættelse". På et kort fra 1825 er byen mærket "Minching-Hampton".
