The Secretariat of the Interior[5][2][4] (Spanish: Secretaría del Interior, Ministry of the Interior until May 2024)[4] of Argentina is a secretariat of the national executive power that manages issues pertaining to domestic politics such as immigration and co-ordination between the federal government and the governments of the provinces of Argentina.

The agency is one of the oldest ministries in the Argentine government, having existed continuously since the formation of the first Argentine executive in 1854, in the presidency of Justo José de Urquiza. The incumbent secretary is Lisandro Catalán, who was appointed in May 2024.[5]
