Mino (三野町; -cho) was a town located in the former Mitoyo District, Kagawa, Japan.

On January 1, 2006 Mino was merged with the towns of Nio, Saita, Takase, Takuma, Toyonaka and Yamamoto, all from Mitoyo District, to form the new city of Mitoyo and no longer exists as an independent municipality.

As of 2005, the town had an estimated population of 9,952 and a density of 501.76 persons per km². The total area was 19.34 km².

Mino had a sister city relationship with Evansville (Indiana), Unadilla (New York State), Sanyuan County in the city of Xianyang (Shaanxi China) and Florenville (Belgium).

The city of Mitoyo gets its name from the Mitoyo district which originally got half of its name from an older district called the Mino district, and the other half from Toyota District (豊田郡).
