The Ministry of Universities was a ministerial department in the Government of Spain responsible for proposing and carrying out the government policy on universities as well as representing Spain in the European Union and other international organizations regarding universities.
The department was created as part of the Sánchez II Government as a split from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. On 20 November 2023 the department was disestablished and its functions returned to the Ministry of Science after years of insistence by the scientific and university community..
The ministry had two ministers: Manuel Castells (2020–2021) and Joan Subirats (2021–2023).
