Michael Minor (September 25, 1940 – May 4, 1987) was an American illustrator and art director on Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Minor, along with Joseph Jennings, Andrew Probert, Douglas Trumbull and Harold Michelson, designed the refit USS Enterprise for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, based on Matt Jefferies' original USS Enterprise design for the television series.

For a period during the 1970s, Minor worked at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, where he created a lunar panorama for the planetarium based on images from the Apollo missions.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

When Harve Bennett, a new Paramount television producer, was hired to create a cheaper, better sequel to The Motion Picture, he chose Minor to help shape the art direction.[1]

Minor won an Emmy Award nomination for his visual effects work on the acclaimed 1983 mini-series The Winds of War.[2] He would later garner an Emmy nomination in "Outstanding Art Direction for a Limited Series or a Special" for The Winds of War.

Other credits include work on The Lost Saucer (1975–1976), The Man Who Saw Tomorrow (1981), the 1982 fantasy film The Beastmaster, and Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985).
