The Alberta Ministry of Arts, Culture and Status of Women,[1] commonly called Alberta Culture, is the Government of Alberta department responsible for the province's cultural industries, arts, and heritage, as well as the promotion of women's rights.

This ministry of the Executive Council of Alberta is the legal continuation of a ministry that has had many names since its creation in 1992, most recently as Alberta Culture, Multiculturalism, and Status of Women. This is the not the first culture ministry; a previous one existed from 1971 to 1992. In 2021, the word "multiculturalism" was dropped from the Ministry's name, but its organization remained unchanged. In 2022, the "Status of Women" was removed from the ministry's name but that portfolio stayed with the ministry with an associate minister specifically responsible, meanwhile multiculturalism was moved into a new ministry with trade and immigration.

The current Minister of Arts, Culture, and Status of Women is Tanya Fir, who was sworn into the role on June 9, 2023, following that year's re-election of the Danielle Smith government. Fir previously held the position of Parliamentary Secretary for Status of Women.[2]
