Monodora minor is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Mozambique and Tanzania. Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler and Ludwig Diels, the German botanists who first formally described the species, do not explicitly explain the specific epithet but it is among the smaller (minor in Latin) members of the genus which includes species that reach heights of 30–40 meters (98–131 ft).
It has been observed growing in coastal regions in wet forests at elevations from 100 to 780 meters (330 to 2,560 ft).
