The minister of state for crime and policing is a ministerial position held jointly at the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice in the Government of the United Kingdom.[1][2][3] Holders of this office have previously held additional responsibilities such as for security, counter-terrorism, the fire service and crime. The post had responsibility for the fire service from January 2016 to July 2019 and again from August 2019 to February 2020.

This role was created by the splitting of the now-defunct office of the minister for security, counter-terrorism, crime and policing into two new ministerial posts: Security & Counter-Terrorism and Crime & Policing.
