The Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security (Portuguese: Ministério do Trabalho, Solidariedade e Segurança Social or MTSS) is a Portuguese government ministry. The ministry has changed the scope of its responsibilities under various governments – for the purposes of this article, the focus is the core responsibility for "Labour", which has been termed "Employment" under some mandates, as responsibility for "Social Security" has been separated out in some mandates. The Portuguese term Solidariedade is roughly equivalent to "Technical or Vocational Training", ensuring that citizens have the "Qualification"s (a term also used) for employment in the trades. (see Solidarity (Polish trade union), Solidarity (South African trade union), Solidarity (British trade union))

The current Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security in the XXIV Constitutional Government is Maria do Rosário Palma Ramalho, since 2 April 2024.
