Minister of Industry, Science and Technology was an office in the Cabinet of Canada from 1990 to 1995.

Prior to 1990, the responsibilities of the Industry, Science and Technology portfolio were divided between the now-defunct post of Minister of Regional Industrial Expansion and a Minister of State for Science and Technology.
