Funkley is a city in Beltrami County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 18 at the 2020 census,[3] making the city the second-least populous incorporated place in Minnesota.[6] It shared that distinction with Tenney until the latter dissolved in 2011.[7]

Funkley was incorporated in 1904 at the site of a junction along the Minnesota and International Railway.[8] The name comes from Henry Funkley, a county attorney.[9]
