Amerikanske krigsministre
Krigsministeren eller Secretary of War var et medlem af den amerikanske præsidents kabinet helt fra George Washingtons embedstid. En tilsvarende stilling, med titlen "Secretary at War" eller "Secretary of War" blev udpeget til at tjene Konføderationskongressen under den forudgående forfatning mellem 1781 og 1789. Benjamin Lincoln og senere Henry Knox beklædte denne post. Da Washington blev indsat som den første præsident efter vedtagelsen af USA's forfatning, udpegede han Knox til at fortsætte.
Krigsministeren ledede det amerikanske krigsministerium. I starten havde han ansvar for alle militære forhold. I 1798 blev flådeministeren optaget i kabinettet, og krigsministerens opgaver blev indskrænket til at vedrøre hæren. I 1947 blev de to poster igen slået sammen under Forsvarsministeren. Krigsministeren blev udskiftet med en minister for hæren og en minister for luftvåbnet, som sammen med ministeren for flåden blev underlagt forsvarsministeren – hvilket betød at de ikke havde sæde i kabinettet.
