Ministry of Racial Equality (Portuguese: Ministério da Igualdade Racial) of Brazil is a department of the direct public administration of the Federal Government responsible to plan, coordinate and execute public politics of promotion of racial equality and fight against racism on a national level.

The first chief minister was Matilde Ribeiro, social worker and university professor.

The unified ministry was dissolved and reactivated under the presidencies of Michel Temer and Jair Bolsonaro from 2015 to 2023.

With the appointment of Anielle Franco by Lula da Silva, the mission of the Special Secretariat was revived as a separate Ministry of Racial Equality.
