The Minister for Jerusalem Affairs ( Hebrew שַׂר לעִנְיָינֵי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם) is an occasional portfolio in the Israeli cabinet.

It was first under the 24th government of Israel Yitzhak Shamir on 27 November 1990 with Abraham Verdiger founded, which was served as vice minister, although Awner Chai Shaki as since 1988 Minister without portfolio was in charge of Jerusalem affairs. However, the post was abolished by Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin on December 31, 1992.

It was re-formed in 2001 under Ariel Sharon. Since 2005 this task has been performed by the Minister without Portfolio.
