Princess Minabe (御名部皇女, Minabe no himemiko) (? – ?) was a member of the royal family in Japan during the Asuka period. She was a daughter of Emperor Tenji.[1] Her mother was Lady Mei (姪娘), daughter of Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa no Maro (蘇我倉山田石川麻呂). She was the elder sister of Princess Abe.[2]

She married Prince Takechi and had two sons: Prince Nagaya and Prince Suzuka.[3][4] The two princes were successful in Japan's aristocratic society several decades later.
