Minuteman Project often refers to two separate factions of groups formed to deter illegal crossings of all the borders of the United States, with most undocumented people coming from Mexico. The Minuteman Project may refer to:
- Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, founded by Chris Simcox
- The Minuteman Project Inc., founded by Jim Gilchrist
The two organizations split in December 2005 after disagreements about funding. As such, they both use the "Minuteman" name but otherwise have no official connection with each other.[1]
