Minnborinus of Cologne (fl. 974–986) was anIrishabbot andsaint active in Germany.

Minborinus was the leader of a group ofmissionaries from Ireland who travelled toCologne,Germany. Upon arriving, theArchbishop of Cologne,Warin of Cologne, made Minnborinus abbot of St. Martin's Abbey (nowGreat St. Martin Church) in the city, and installed the rest of the group in the abbey. Minnborinus governed St. Martin's from 974 till his death on 15 August 986. He was succeeded by his fellow-countryman,Kilian of Cologne.

Because St. Martin's was declared an Irish abbey, there were many dedications to Irish saints in the area, with five churches and seven chapels dedicated toSaint Brigid alone.

Hisfeast-day is celebrated on 18 July.
