The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania (Romanian: Ministerul Afacerilor Externe) is one of the fifteen ministries of the Government of Romania.

The current Foreign Minister is Adrian Cioroianu from the National Liberal Party (PNL). Previously, the Prime-Minister, Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, which is also the president of the National Liberal Party (PNL), assumed this office ad interim, after Traian Băsescu, the President of Romania, had refused repeatedly to accept the nomination of Adrian Cioroianu.
