The Chancellor of the Exchequer is an ancient title held by the British cabinet minister whose responsibilities are like those of the posts of Minister for Finance or Secretary of the Treasury in other jurisdictions. It is the third oldest major state office in the history of English and the United Kingdom. The Chancellor is the cabinet minister responsible for all financial matters.

Historically the Exchequer included monetary policy as well as fiscal policy. This was changed in 1997 when the Bank of England was granted independence from government.
