Shadow Home Secretary
Incumbent Nick Thomas-Symonds since 5 April 2020
Appointer	Leader of the Opposition
Inaugural holder	Kenneth Younger
Formation	14 December 1955
Website	The Shadow Cabinet

In British politics, the Shadow Home Secretary (formally known as the Shadow Secretary of State for the Home Department), is the person within the shadow cabinet who shadows the Home Secretary; this effectively means scrutinising government policy on home affairs including policing, national security, the criminal justice system, the prison service, and matters of citizenship. If the opposition party is elected to government, the Shadow Home Secretary often becomes the new Home Secretary, though this is not always the case. The office has been held by Labour MP Nick Thomas-Symonds since 5 April 2020.
