The Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services is a portfolio committee of the National Assembly of South Africa. It is responsible for oversight of the agencies managed by the Minister of Correctional Services, including the Department of Correctional Services.
The committee was established during the first post-apartheid Parliament, with Carl Niehaus as its inaugural chairperson. After the 2014 general election, it was merged into the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services, in response to the corresponding ministerial merger that created the Ministry of Justice and Correctional Services. That merger was reversed after the 2024 general election and an independent portfolio committee was re-established.

To date, all chairpersons of the committee have been members of the African National Congress (ANC), the national governing party.
