Quyền Văn Minh (born July 11, 1954) is a Vietnamese jazz saxophonist. He is considered the first jazz star and one of the most eminent musicians in Hanoi.^[1] He is also known for running a jazz club in Old Quarter of Hanoi for years.^[2]

Minh was born in Hanoi in a musical family. His father was a guitarist and saxophonist. His mother was a singer with good alto voice.^[3] When he was a teenager, he began to teach himself jazz saxophone after listening jazz on radio during the Vietnam War.^[4] At that time, the government kept culture under strict control. Minh's father did not support his son's interest in jazz until 1974, when he gave Minh an alto saxophone.^[5]
