The Ministry of Justice () is a department of the Albanian Government, responsible for the implementation of government justice policy, the Albanian legal system in the Constitution and general administrative law, civil law, procedural law and criminal law as well as matters relating to democratic issues, human rights, integration and minority issues and metropolitan affairs.

The current Minister of Justice is Besfort Lamallari since 19 September 2025.

History

The Ministry of Justice was one of the original ministries created following the Independence of Albania in 1912.

From 1968 to 1989, the ministry was closed. It reopened as part of a series of reforms during the fall of communism in Albania.

Reorganization

Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Justice has undergone several administrative changes to its organizational structure. When a new department was formed, it often merged with the ministry thus expanding its role, subsequently leading to the name of the ministry being changed. If that department later broke off as a separate ministry or was dissolved, the ministry reverted to its original name.
