The Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina (abbreviated to MPR) is one of ten ministries within the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina that is responsible for the country's judiciary body. The headquarters of the Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in a building resulting from the partnership between Greece and Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Square of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.

Following the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina began to operate from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) at the level of the newly established Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Following the general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006 and the formation of a new government in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Justice Ministry of Bosnia and Herzegovina began functioning for the judiciary in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
