Yes. A dissenting opinion outlines one or more justices' reasoning about why the Supreme Court should have made a different decision. While dissenting opinions do not carry the force of law, they may be cited, and sometimes become a more important part of case law than the majority opinion.

A dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court. Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable.
The term "minority opinion" is a bit unorthodox, considering those who vote against the majority may not be unified in their reasoning. When a Supreme Court justice wants to express disagreement with the opinion of the Court (usually the majority), he or she may write a dissenting opinion. It is not necessary for the dissenting justice to agree with anyone else on the Court. No one uses the term "minority opinion."
