The financial secretary of the Falkland Islands is the government officer responsible for economic and financial matters in the Falkland Islands.

The position was also known as Director of Finance after the new Constitution came into effect in 2009.

The financial secretary is an ex officio member of the Legislative Assembly and the Executive Council, and also acts as Stanley's returning officer during general and by-elections in the absence of the chief executive. The director of finance is not permitted to be a member of the Public Accounts Committee.

The current financial secretary is Pat Clunie, who took up office in 2024.[1]
