The Labour Minister of Israel (Hebrew: שר העבודה, Sar HaAvoda) was the political head of the Israeli Ministry of Labour and a position in the Israeli cabinet. The post was established in 1948 as the Minister of Labour and Construction (Hebrew: שר העבודה והבינוי, Sar HaAvoda VeHaBinui). The following year it was renamed the Minister of Labour and Social Security (Hebrew: שרת העבודה והביטוח העממי, Sar HaAVoda VeHaBituah HaAmami), until adopting its later name in 1951.
In 1977 the post was scapped and its functions merged with the Welfare Minister, becoming the Minister of Labor and Social Welfare. In 2003 the labour function was transferred to the Minister of Industry and Trade, which was renamed Industry, Trade and Labour Minister.
