This is a '''list of named geological features on [[Mimas (moon)|Mimas]]''', a moon that orbits the planet [[Saturn]].  Mimantean features are named after people and places in [[Arthurian legend]] or the legends of the [[Titan (mythology)|Titans]]. The sole exception to this is [[Herschel (Mimantean crater)|Herschel Crater]], named after [[William Herschel]], the astronomer who discovered Mimas in 1789. That name was chosen before the [[International Astronomical Union]] set a guideline for naming geological features on Mimas.
