Minister of Greenland (Danish: Minister for Grønland) was a cabinet post for affairs with the Danish Arctic territory of Greenland.[1]

Tom Høyem was Minister from 1982 until 1987, and was succeeded briefly by Mimi Jakobsen.[2] In September 1987, the post was eliminated, and responsibility was transferred to the Prime Minister's Office.[3]

Since 1979, Greenland has been governed locally through Home Rule with a parliament.
