Malý Minčol – a peak with a height of 1330 m a.s.l in the Little Fatra Mountains, in the Central Western Carpathians in Slovakia. It is located in the northern part of the Lúčanská Malá Fatra, in the geomorphological region of the Lúčanské Veterné hole, in its main ridge, about 4.5 km north of the peak of Veľká lúka. From the southwest, through the Okopy Pass, it borders the Minčol peak (1364 m a.s.l.) and from the north, the Úplaz peak (1301 m a.s.l.). The western slopes descend to the Stráňavská dolina and the eastern slopes to the Kamenná dolina.
The peak is partly covered with dwarf pine and partly with a meadow. Below on the slopes grows a narrow strip of upper montane spruce forest and below that a lower montane mixed forest. From the peak there is a distant view of the Žilina Basin, the city of Žilina, the Turčianska Basin, the city of Martin and the Malá and Velka Fatra. To the east you can see the peaks of the Western, High and Low Tatras, the Great Choč and the Kriváň part of the Malá Fatra, Orava and the Kysuce Beskids and the Moravian-Silesian Beskids with Lysá hora.
