Dans l'usage anglais courant, Minster est un titre honorifique donné aux églises notamment en Angleterre, la plus célèbre étant la Cathédrale d'York (York Minster).
Le terme Minster , qui remonterait au VIIe siècle, correspondrait au terme latin monasterium désignant un monastère. Il a ensuite évolué.
