The Secretary of the Treasury of Zamastan is the head of the Zamastan Department of the Treasury which is concerned with financial and monetary matters, and, until 2014, also included several federal law enforcement agencies. This position in the federal government of Zamastan is analogous to the Minister of Finance in many other countries. The Secretary of the Treasury is a member of the President's Cabinet, and is nominated by the President of Zamastan. Nominees for Secretary of the Treasury undergo a confirmation hearing before the Congressional Committee on Finance before being voted on by the Senate.

The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense are generally regarded as the three most important cabinet officials because of the importance of their departments. The current Secretary of the Treasury is Mara Orlandi, who succeeded Samuel Discher.

The Secretary is responsible for formulating and recommending domestic and international financial, economic, and tax policy, participating in the formulation of broad fiscal policies that have general significance for the economy, and managing the public debt. The Secretary oversees the activities of the Department in carrying out its major law enforcement responsibilities; in serving as the financial agent for the Zamastanian Government; and in manufacturing coins and currency.
