Maria Minor church (Sancta Maria Minor kyrka) is a church rediscovered after archaeological surveys in Lund, Sweden.
A post church with palisade walls, also called Sancta Maria, was discovered in 1911 on a site just south of the great square, Stortorget. That church had been built in the mid 11th century, 1060 is postulated through dendrocronological dating, at a time when several stave churches were erected in Lund.
