Ministry of Digital Transformation
Established 28 February 2020
Dissolved 5 June 2022

The Austenasian Ministry of Digital Transformation was a government body responsible for the provision of IT services to and the development of e-Government portals and information services for the Empire of Austenasia. It was formed at the initiative of Prince Dionisiy I to fulfill his electoral manifesto as Prime Minister of Austenasia, and retained after Prince Dionisiy's resignation by Lord John Gordon.

The Ministry of Digital Transformation was founded on 28 February 2020 by an Act of Parliament. Prince Dionisiy was appointed the first Minister later that day by Emperor Jonathan I, and was succeeded by the Lord Karl Friedrich upon his resignation.

Lord Friedrich held the position for just over two years, by which time a consensus had been reached in Cabinet that it was not necessary for the position to hold the rank of a Government Minister. Lord Friedrich was therefore appointed Secretary for Internet Technologies (a new position subordinate to the Secretary-General), and the Ministry dissolved on 5 June 2022 by the Cabinet Reform Act of that year.
