A '''minor third''' ('''m3''') is an interval that spans two scale steps in the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with the minor (narrower) quality. It is generated by stacking 3 fourths [[octave reduction|octave reduced]], and depending on the specific tuning, it ranges from 240 to 343{{cent}} ([[5edo|1\5]] to [[5edo|2\7]]).

[[Category:Diatonic interval categories]]
In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a minor third if it is reasonably mapped to two steps of the diatonic scale and four steps of the chromatic scale.
 
 
The minor third can be stacked with a [[Major third (diatonic interval category)|diatonic major third]] to form a perfect fifth, and as such is often involved in chord structures in diatonic harmony.
