The United States Secretary of Defense (SecDef) is the head of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), concerned with the armed services and military matters.

By statute (10 U.S.C. § 113) the secretary must be a civilian who has not served in the active component of the armed forces for at least seven years. The Secretary of Defense is sixth in the presidential line of succession. The Secretary of Defense earns a salary of $191,300 per year.
