The New South Wales Ministry of Transport is the New South Wales State government agency responsible for coordinating public transport across New South Wales.

The Ministry's responsibilities include bus and ferry policy, contracting and regulation, rail policy, fares and concessions, and taxi and hire car policy and regulation. It also coordinates funding arrangements for transport operators, including hundreds of local and community transport operators. A major program is the delivery of the State's free school transport scheme.

The Director General of Transport, Jim Glasson, reports to the State Minister for Transport, currently John Watkins.
