Minden is an electoral ward in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits within the built-up area around the market town of Bury St Edmunds and is principally a residential neighbourhood, with a mix of older terraces and post‑war housing alongside local shops and community facilities.
The ward combines easy access to the town’s amenities with nearby green spaces and schools, and many residents commute regionally for work.
