Willie Minoga (born 17 September 1987) in Wapenmanda, Enga Province is a Papua New Guinean professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Papua New Guinea Hunters in the Queensland Cup. He rejoined the Papua New Guinea Hunters at the end of 2016 after spending one season playing for the Townsville Blackhawks in the same competition. A Papua New Guinean national representative, Minoga was selected in PNG's squad for the 2017 World Cup.

At his very early ages, he used to play for the school boys rugby teams while he was attending St.Paul's Lutheran Secondary School in the Minamb Valley in the years 2010-2012. He then joined Timin Tara, a local rugby team in the Minamb Rugby League. From there, he had been faithful in playing rugby. He was directly invited by the Lae Snax Tigers coach Stanley Tepend for training. He played in Tigers for some years. He then moved out to represent PNG due to his commitments.
