就業及退休保障部（英語：Department for Work and Pensions；威爾斯語：Yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau）是負責福利及撫恤金政策的英國政府部門。

該部門成立於2001年，主要政策領域包括：管理勞動福利如失業補助，發放就業及支持津貼，支付國家基本撫恤金及撫恤金信貸，並提供有關問題的信息，為殘疾人及其照顧者提供服務及經濟支持，以及兒童的保全及福利。

沿革

該部的前身可以追溯到1916年成立的撫恤金部（英語：Ministry of Pensions）及英國勞工部（英語：Ministry of Labour (United Kingdom)）。撫恤金部的任務是給退伍軍人及軍屬發放撫恤金。勞工部則是從貿易局（英語：Board of Trade）手中接管了調解勞資糾紛、勞務交流、勞資關係及統計就業相關數據，一戰後負責監督軍人復員及轉業，1918年開始執行最低工資標準，1919年，代表英國參加國際勞工組織。

1920年代接管了教育委員會所有關於青年就業以及殘疾人培訓及就業的工作，後者是從撫恤金部轉隸而來。二次世界大臣間兩個部門經歷了擴大職權及規模，其中撫恤金部一度外遷到利物浦附近辦公。

1939年，勞工部更名為勞工及國民服務部（英語：Ministry of Labour and National Service），反映了1939年《國家兵役（武裝部隊）法》規定的新職責：分配人員在武裝部隊、民防及工廠之間工作。1945年4月，勞工部與失業保險及援助有關的職能移交給成立於1944年的國家保險部（英語：Ministry of National Insurance），二戰結束後，國民服務職能被交給國防部的徵兵部門。

1953年，撫恤金部及國家保險部合併成立撫恤金及國家保險部（英語：Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance）。^[6]

1959年勞工及國民服務部復名勞工部。

1966年撫恤金及國家保險部更名為社會保障部（英語：Ministry of Social Security）。

1968，社會保障部與衛生部合併為（衛生及社會保障部（英語：Department of Health and Social Security））。勞工部也改名為就業及生產部（英語：Department of Employment and Productivity）。

1970年就業及生產部再更名為就業部（英語：Department of Employment）。^[7]

1988年，社會保障部（英語：Department of Social Security (United Kingdom)）脫離衛生及社會保障部再次成立。^[8]

1995年，就業部與教育部合併為教育及就業部（英語：Department for Education and Skills (United Kingdom)）。

2001年大選後的6月8日，教育及就業部的就業職能與整個社會保障部合併成立就業及退休保障部。^[9]^[10]社會保障部其餘職能交給了財政部及國防部。^[11]本部最初的任務是根據其前身機構創建新的就業中心及撫恤金體系。^[12]旨在「幫助其客戶實現財務獨立，並幫助減少兒童貧困狀況」。^[13]
