Rospotrebnadzor (Роспотребнадзор), officially the Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare () is the national public health agency of the Russian Federation, and is the federal service responsible for the supervision of consumer rights protection and human wellbeing in Russia.

Medical and sanitary work in Russia originated at the beginning of the 19th century and was subordinated to the Medical Department of the Ministry of Police.

The organization's history goes back to the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR "On the Sanitary Authorities of the Republic" dated 15 September 1922.

As of 2004, 2,218 separate sanitary-epidemiological stations (centers) were open in Russia.

It initially reported to the Ministry of Health. By 2004, the Rospotrebnadzor was under the direct oversight of the Government of Russia.

From 2004 until October 2013, it was headed by Gennady Onishchenko. The current head of the Rospotrebnadzor is Anna Popova.

The service currently employs approximately 110,000 professionals in its various bodies and organizations.
