The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates[a] is the foreign affairs ministry of Morocco, responsible for implementing Morocco's foreign policy and ensuring relations with foreign states.

Its head office is in Rabat and is one of the so-called "ministries of sovereignty", which report directly to the king of Morocco, alongside the ministries of the interior and religious affairs.[1]

Since 5 April 2017, Nasser Bourita is the incumbent minister, and is assisted by his junior minister, Abdelkrim Benatiq, who serves as the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in charge of Moroccans living abroad and Migration Affairs.
