Ministry of Guards (Persian: وزارت سپاه‎) was a government ministry in Iran between 1982 and 1989,^[3] which mainly acted as a ministry of defence dedicated to logistically supply the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.^[1] By having its own ministry, the Corps were able to acquire a powerful voice in the cabinet of Iran.^[4] It also implied greater regulation and supervision over the Corps by placing its acquisitions and purchases under and the audit and purview of the government.^[1]

It mirrored the existing parallel Ministry of National Defence^[4] (the word "National" was dropped in 1984) which solely supported and addressed the administrative affairs of the Iranian Army (Artesh) during these years.^[2] In 1989, it was dissolved and reintegrated into the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL),^[3] in order to centralize military logistics among the Iranian Armed Forces.^[2]
