The Attorney General's Office of Uruguay (Spanish: Fiscalía General de la Nación; literally "General Prosecutorial Office of the Nation") is the Uruguayan government agency that prosecutes offenders, investigate crimes and accuse criminal law infractions against judges and courts of justice.

[1] The Attorney General's Office as the Public Ministry was created in 1907 during the administration of President Claudio Williman by the same law that created the High Court –predecessor of the Supreme Court–.

[2] Until 2015, it was an agency dependent on the Ministry of Education and Culture, but with the promulgation of Law No.

19,334, it was established as a decentralized state service, not being part of any of the three branches of government.

[3] Article One Hundred and Sixty-Eight of the Constitution of Uruguay establishes that it is the responsibility of the Executive to appoint the Attorney General (Spanish: Fiscal de Corte y Procurador General de la Nación; literally "Court Prosecutor and Attorney General of the Nation").
