Minnesota's 10th congressional district is an obsolete congressional district which existed from 1915 to 1933. It was created from the results of the 1910 census and generally consisted of the current 3rd and 6th districts and the southern portion of the 8th district. It was abolished following the 1930 census.

It was represented by only two people, both Republicans: Thomas D. Schall and Godfrey G. Goodwin.
