The Ministry of Transport or Transportation (Portuguese: Ministério dos Transportes) is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil. It is the body responsible to enforce and direct regulations concerning transport, from roads and railways to ports and aviation and it also advises the President of Brazil in the execution and formulation of these policies. It was first established in 1992, during Fernando Collor de Mello's presidency. It was dissolved on 1 January 2019 during Jair Bolsonaro's government and merged into the Ministry of Infrastructure. The first minister to take office into the ministry since its re-creation in 2023 is Renan Filho.[2]

The body was re-created by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, on January 1, 2023, being a result of the dissolution and division of former Ministry of Infrastructure into the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Ports and Airports.[3]
