Mindaugas Timinskas (born March 28, 1974) is a retired Lithuanian professional basketball player for the Lithuanian national basketball team.

Born in Šilutė, Timinskas started his professional career by playing college basketball at NCAA representing Iona College (1993–97), then moved to Lithuania for the 1997-98 season, signed by his home town team Šilutė at the time playing in LKL.

Timinskas made his mark for TAU Cerámica of Spain during the Euroleague 2000-01 finals, when he had three double-digit scoring games, most notably 18 points in Game 4 to force the series to a fifth and final contest. His rim-rocking dunk in that game is still remembered as one of the highlights of the Euroleague's first season.

Timinskas was named the head coach of the Cary Academy Varsity Basketball team for the 2012-2013 season, replacing Kenny Inge.
