Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) er et departement i den britiske regjeringen med ansvar for kultur og sport i England, og noen aspekter ved media for hele Storbritannia, slik som kringkasting, samt turisme. Departementet var også regjeringens hovedansvarlig for Sommer-OL 2012 og Paralympiske sommerleker 2012.

Omorganiseringer og navneendringer

Departementet ble opprettet som Department of National Heritage (norsk: Departementet for nasjonalarv) i april 1992, gjennom en sammenslåing av flere eksisterende departementer. Det fikk navnet Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Departementet for kultur, media og sport) 14. juli 1997 under Tony Blairs regjering. I 2017 ble navnet endret til Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.^[1] Den 7. februar 2023 ble Lucy Frazer utnevnt til ny kulturminister, og departementet endret navn til Department for Culture, Media and Sport.^[2] Endringen innebar at ansvaret for digitale spørsmål ikke lenger hører inn under dette departementet.^[2]
