The Prince Albert Mintos were a professional ice hockey team in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. They played in the Saskatchewan Professional Hockey League from 1909-1911.

The Mintos won the league title in 1909 after the Saskatoon Stratchonas were disqualified for using ineligible players. They then played the Edmonton Pros for the Fit-Reform Trophy (Western Canadian Championship) and were defeated.

The club repeated as SPHL champions in 1911, beating the Saskatoon Westerns in a playoff. They advanced to challenge for the Stanley Cup, and fell to Port Arthur Lake City 12-6 in a qualification series.

The Mintos then transitioned to senior competitions, playing for the Allan Cup. The Mintos was later the name of a junior team playing in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and is now used by a team in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.
