The Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina () is a government ministry responsible for security affairs and the coordination of police bodies in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
History Following the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992 from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina began operating at the level of the newly established republic, with Alija Delimustafić (SDA) as minister.
After the end of the Bosnian War and the signing of the Dayton Agreement in 1995, police responsibilities were divided between the two entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which formed their own ministries of interior. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, police responsibilities were further divided between the cantons.
In 2002, the Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina was formed, with Bariša Čolak (HDZ BiH) appointed as the first Minister of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After Nenad Nešić resigned in January 2025, Deputy Minister Ivica Bošnjak continued to act in the ministry's leadership role.
