The Ministry for Jewish Affairs () was an interwar Lithuanian government portfolio.
This ministry was established as a result of bargaining between the Jewish community leaders and the Lithuanian government to gain the support of the latter in the peace conference negotiations over the boundaries of the new Lithuanian State. For the same reason, there was a Ministry for Belarusian Affairs. The portfolio was abolished on March 19, 1924.
