Minneapolis is a community located along US 19-E in Avery County, North Carolina, United States.

As early as 1904, the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad went through the community of Minneapolis, but bypassed it as it traveled between Cranberry and Montezuma.

In 1910 a depot was built, mainly to service a sawmill and asbestos factory; in 1937, the depot was abandoned, but flag stops still continued till 1940.

After the rails were removed, the railway bed became the foundation for Old Toe River Road.
