The Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests, Italian: Ministero dell'agricoltura, della sovranità alimentare e delle foreste or MASAF, is an Italian government department.

It was formed in 1946 as the Ministero dell'Agricoltura e delle Foreste ("Ministry of Agriculture and Forests"), and following the referendum of 1993 became the Ministero per il Coordinamento delle Politiche Agricole ("Ministry for Co-ordination of Agricultural Policies"). It was reconstituted in the same year as the Ministero delle Risorse Agricole, Alimentari e Forestali ("Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Resources") in 2006 and assumed the current form in 2022, after the formation of the Meloni government.

The Ministry, based at the Palazzo dell'Agricoltura in Rome, produces and coordinates government policy on agriculture, forests, food and fisheries at national, European and international levels.

The current Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests is Francesco Lollobrigida.
