The Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security (Spanish: Ministerio de Trabajo, Empleo y Seguridad Social; MTEySS) was a ministry of the Argentine Government tasked with overseeing the country's public policies on labour conditions, employment and social security.

It proposed, designed, elaborated, administered and supervised the policies in all that is inherent to the relations and individual and collective conditions of work, to the legal regime of collective bargaining and of the professional associations of workers and employers, to employment, job training and social security. In addition, it was informally tasked with overseeing the government's relationship with Argentina's trade unions.[2]

The Ministry was founded in 1949, when the Secretariat of Labour and Prevision was elevated to ministerial level in the first cabinet of President Juan Perón; the first minister was José María Freire.[3] It was briefly disestablished during the dictatorship of Juan Carlos Onganía, being restored during the third and last presidency of Perón in 1973. It was also demoted to a secretariat for a short period during the presidency of Mauricio Macri, from 2018 to 2019.[4]

The ministry was dissolved on December 10, 2023 following a presidential decree from President Javier Milei.
