The Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP) is a bureau of the United States Department of State responsible for leading U.S. foreign policy on cyberspace, digital technologies, and related issues of security, economic growth, and human rights. It was established in April 2022 under H.R.1251 - Cyber Diplomacy Act of 2021 to consolidate and elevate cyber and digital policy functions that had previously been spread across multiple State Department offices and to provide a focal point for U.S. cyber diplomacy.

Independent analysts describe the bureau as a central instrument of U.S. cyber diplomacy and as part of the implementation of the Cyber Diplomacy Act, which codified State's role in global cyber negotiations and capacity building.

In July 2025, it was reported that the CDP was in the first stage of dismantlement as part of a larger internal State Department reorganization.
