Minarni (later Minarni Soedaryanto; 10 May 1944 – 14 May 2003) was an Indonesian badminton player who won major titles around the world and who represented her country internationally between 1959 and 1975. In 1968, Minarni became the first Indonesian to reach the final of women's singles at the All England Open, and with Retno Kustijah formed the first of only two Indonesian women's doubles teams yet to capture the All England Open title. She also won titles at the Indonesian National Championships, the quadrennial Asian Games, the Asian Championships, and at the Malaysia, U.S., Canada, Singapore, and New Zealand Opens. In 1966 Penang Open, Minarni won in all three available categories (women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles) in one day. Minarni first played in the then triennial Uber Cup competition for Indonesia in her mid teens (1959). In her last Uber Cup campaign (1974-1975), she was assigned as the team captain, and her excellent doubles play helped Indonesia to win its first women's world team title.

10 May 2019, on what would have been her 75th birthday, she was honored with a Google Doodle.
