The Ministerial and Other Salaries Act 1975 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that governs ministerial salaries.

The Act sets out the maximum numbers of paid ministerial posts. Some ministerial posts are separately identified within the Act, for example, those of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Attorney General. However, maximum numbers for the main categories of minister (e.g. ministers of state) are specified in schedule I, part V of the Act.

In 2004, the Joint Committee of the House of Commons and the House of Lords named this Act a 'fundamental part of the constitutional law' of the UK.^[1]
