The Chief Presidential Secretary for Policy (Korean: 대통령정책실장; Hanja: 大統領政策室長) was a ministerial level position at the Office of President appointed by the President of South Korea.

President Roh first created this post.[1] The succeeding president Lee changed its status to the vice-ministerial level. President Moon returned this post to a ministerial-level position[2] which was abolished under Park's administration.[3] Moon's successor Yoon abolished the post following his promise to reduce the size of the presidential secretariat.[4]
