Ministarstvo rata Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, poznato i kao Ratno ministarstvo (povremeno zvano i Ratna kancelarija u prvim godinama postojanja) je bilo prvo ministarstvo Kabineta SAD odgovorno za rad i izdržavanje Kopnenih snaga SAD. Ministarsvo je takođe bilo odgovorno za rad mornarice do osnivanja Ministarstva mornarice 1798. godine i ratnog vazduhoplovstva sve do osnivanja Ministarstva ratnog vazduhoplovstva 1947. godine. Sekretarijat rata je upravljao ovim ministarstvom za vreme njegovog postojanja.
Ministarsvo rata je postojalo od 1789. godine do 18. septembra 1947. kada je podeljeno na ministarstva kopnenih snaga i ratnog vazduhoplovstva koja su se pridružila Ministarstvu mornarice u okviru zajedničke Nacionalne vojne ustanove, koja je 1949. godine preimenovana u Ministarstvo odbrane Sjedinjenih Američkih Država.
