The Minister of Home Affairs or Home Minister (HM) is the head of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The minister's chief responsibility is the maintenance of Andhra Pradesh's internal security; the state's police force comes under the ministry's jurisdiction. Occasionally, the minister is assisted by the Minister of State of Home Affairs. The Minister of Home Affairs is one of the senior-most officers in the Cabinet of Andhra Pradesh. Several Home Ministers have held the additional portfolio of Deputy Chief Minister.

From June 2014 to May 2019, the Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh was Nimmakayala Chinarajappa of the Telugu Desam Party, taking over the reins from Kiran Kumar Reddy, who was also Home Minister as well as the last Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh before the bifurcation of United Andhra Pradesh into the present-day residual Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Following the cabinet re-shuffling on 11 April 2022, Taneti Vanitha assumed the office under the Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy ministry, serving until 11 June 2024. On 14 June 2024, Vangalapudi Anitha assumed the office under the fourth N. Chandrababu Naidu ministry.
