It was founded as the State Secretariat for Justice (Ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς Δικαιοσύνης Γραμματεία τῆς Ἐπικρατείας) on 25 January 1833, and later known as the Ministry of Justice (Katharevousa: Ὑπουργεῖον Δικαιοσύνης, Demotic: Υπουργείο Δικαιοσύνης). It was renamed the Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Human Rights (Greek: Υπουργείο Δικαιοσύνης, Διαφάνειας και Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων) in October 2009 under George Papandreou, but was restored to its previous name in July 2019 by Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
