The Secretariat of Social Communication (Portuguese: Secretaria de Comunicação Social, Secom) is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil. With a Ministry status, it is responsible for the release of funds and management of adversiting contracts signed by the Federal Government.

With the ministry reform promoted by president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2007, the Secretariat incorporated the Secretariat of Press and Spokesperson, which is responsible for the relationship between the government and the media. This coincidence of attributions was criticized by external analysts.[1]
