The Mini-Cassette, often written minicassette, is a magnetic tape audio cassette format introduced by Philips in 1967.
It is used primarily in dictation machines and was also employed as a data storage for the Philips P2000 home computer. In 2021, it was reported that Phillips still listed mini-cassette players along with new mini-cassette tapes on its website. As of May 2025, both are still listed.
