The Transportation Minister of Israel (currently styled as the Minister of Transportation and Road Safety (Template:Lang-he, Sar HaTakhbura veHaBetikhut BeDerekhim)) is the government minister at the head of the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety in Israel.

Nevertheless, there has been a Transportation Minister in every Israeli government to date. Yisrael Katz of Likud is the incumbent.
Three Prime Ministers (David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon) have held the Transportation portfolio whilst in office, though only for a short time, whilst three Transportation Ministers (Ezer Weizman, Moshe Katsav and Shimon Peres) have gone on to become President.
