The Secretariat of Transport (Spanish: Secretaría de Transporte, formerly, the Ministry of Transport) of Argentina is a national executive agency that managed transportation issues, including land, air, and sea transportation within the country.

The Ministry was founded in 1949[2] and was previously part of the Ministry of the Interior and Transport until 2015. The ministry was dissolved following a presidential decree from President Javier Milei, and turned into a Secretariat.[3] It is controlled by the Ministry of Economy.

The Secretariat supervises several government agencies such as the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV), National Transport Regulation Commission (CNRT), National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC), and transport companies such as Ferrocarriles Argentinos SE, and Aerolíneas Argentinas, among others.
