The Ministry of Sports (Portuguese: Ministério do Esporte) is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil. It was established in 1995 as the "Special Ministry of Sports"; in 1998, this became the "Ministry of Sports and Tourism". In 2003, the Ministry of Tourism was separated from its portfolio. The cabinet was extinct by Jair Bolsonaro in 2019, folded into the Ministry of Citizenship,[2] but Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced he would restore it in 2023, with Ana Moser as the new minister.[3]

The Ministry directs the National Institute of Sport Development.
