The Ministry of Transport and Communications is an Ethiopian government department responsible for the oversight of transport and communication sectors in Ethiopia.

After the invading Italian army was driven out of Ethiopia, an office known as "Ministry of Works and Communications" is formed to lead the service of transport and communications by Proclamation No 1/1953 promulgated to define powers and duties of the ministries.

Once again it gained its name "Ministry of Transport and Communication" with proclamation No 471/2005.

After delaying until 2011, the communication sector was detached from the Ministry with order No.
