The Ministry of Youth and Children (Spanish: Ministerio de Juventud e Infancia, MIJUI) is a ministerial department in the Government of Spain responsible for proposing and carrying out the government policy on matters of youth and protection of minors.

The department was created as part of the Sánchez III Government as a split from the Ministry of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda. It also assumed some of its powers from the High Commissioner for the Fight against Child Poverty that existed in the Office of the Prime Minister from 2018 to 2023.

It is headed by Sira Rego.
