Mindelact is a Cabo Verdean theater association based in Mindelo on the island of São Vicente, Cabo Verde. Each year, it organizes the Mindelact Theater Festival (Mindelact - Festival Internacional de Teatro do Mindelo).
The association was founded in 1996 by Elisângelo Ramos and Portuguese-Cabo Verdean actor and director João Branco, producing the country's most important theater festival. Several plays were performed with the Grupo de Teatro do Centro Cultural Português do Mindelo (GTCCPM), which was founded a few years earlier in 1993.
