Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Міністерство молоді та спорту України, romanized: Ministerstvo molodi ta sportu Ukrayiny) is a government of Ukraine ministry established on 6 June 1991 after reorganization of the Soviet State Committee of the Ukrainian SSR in affairs of youth and sports. As a ministerial government department, it exists with some breaks since 1991. It was reestablished again in 2013 by splitting away from the Ministry of Education and Science where it existed as its subdepartment in 2010–2013.

The Honcharuk Government (on 29 August 2019) merged the ministry with the Ministry of Culture.[2] But its succeeding Shmyhal Government undid this merge.[3]

The current temporary acting minister is Matviy Bidnyi.
