The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security of Israel (Hebrew: משרד החקלאות וביטחון המזון, Misrad HaHakla'ut UBithon Hamazon) is the ministry of the Israeli government that oversees the country's agricultural industry.

The Agriculture and Food Security Minister (Hebrew: שר החקלאות וביטחון המזון, Sar HaHakla'ut UBithon Hamazon; Arabic: وزير الزراعة وتطوير القرية) is the political head of the ministry, considered a relatively minor position in the Israel cabinet.
