The Ministry of the Imperial Court (Russian: Министерство императорского двора) was established in the Russian Empire in 1826, and embraced in one institution all the former separate branches of the Court administration.
The Ministry of the Court was under the personal cognizance of His Majesty the Emperor, and therefore, rendered account of all its affairs to his majesty alone. After the February Revolution of 1917, the Ministry was abolished.
