The Ministry of Education (Abrv: MOE; Thai: กระทรวงศึกษาธิการ, RTGS: Krasuang Sueksathikan) is a Thai governmental body responsible for the oversight of education in Thailand. It was established by King Rama V (Chulalongkorn) in 1892 as the Ministry of Public Instruction (Thai: กระทรวงธรรมการ, RTGS: Krasuang Thammakan; literally "Ministry of Religious Affairs") which controlled religion, education, healthcare, and museums. In 1941, the ministry changed its Thai name to the present one.
Its headquarters have been in the Chan Kasem Palace since 1937.
