The Ministry of Internal Affairs (Albanian: Ministria e Punëve të Brendshme) is a department of the Albanian Government, in charge of regulation for the protection of rights and liberties of Albanian citizens.

Collaborating with the State Police, the ministry investigates unlawful acts against the interest of society and state, fights crime, provides civil order, ensures civil security, traffic safety, and protects the security and protection of important individuals.

[1] Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has undergone several administrative changes to its organizational structure.

When a new department was formed, it often merged with the ministry thus expanding its role, subsequently leading to the name of the ministry being changed.

If that department later broke off as a separate ministry or was dissolved, the ministry reverted to its original name.
