was an English association football club, originally playing out of Loughborough Junction in Lambeth, London.

[6] The club's only FA Cup run was in 1878–79, benefitting from a withdrawal in the first round, and beating Grey Friars in the second, in front of 300 spectators, in what was considered an upset.

[7] In the third round, Minerva played the Old Etonians at the Kennington Oval, and was 2–0 up at half-time "amidst most enthusiastic cheers" before succumbing 5–2.

The club entered the first London Senior Cup in 1882–83, but lost 18–1, the biggest defeat in the competition's history, to Upton Park in the first round.

The club's major claim to fame is being the first opponents of Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Middlesex Senior Cup, in 1896.
