The State Committee on Affairs with Religious Associations (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Respublikası Dini Qurumlarla İş üzrə Dövlət Komitəsi) is a central executive body which ensures implementation of the state policy and laws in the field of religion. The State Committee was established on June 21, 2001.

Freedom of religion in Azerbaijan is substantially curtailed. The Azerbaijan government, which follows strictly secular and anti-religious ideology, represses all religions.
