The Ministry of Home Affairs (Indonesian: Kementerian Dalam Negeri; abbreviated as Kemendagri) is an interior ministry of the government of Indonesia responsible for matters of the state. The ministry was formerly known as the Department of Home Affairs (Indonesian: Departemen Dalam Negeri; Depdagri) until 2010 when the nomenclature of the Department of Home Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Home Affairs in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 3 of 2010 on the Nomenclature of the Ministry of Home Affairs.[1]

According to Article 8 of the Constitution, in case that both the president and the vice president can no longer serve at the same time, the line of succession temporarily falls to a troika of the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of home affairs, and minister of defense who would govern concurrently until the succeeding president and vice president are elected by the People's Consultative Assembly within thirty days of the posts' vacancy.[2]

The ministry is headed by the minister of home affairs. Starting 23 October 2019, Tito Karnavian held this office.[3]
