The Spices Board is the Indian government regulatory and export promotion agency for Indian spices. The board is headquartered in Kochi. Subash Vasu is the current chairman of Spices Board.

Spices Board was constituted in 1987 under Spices Board Act 1986 with the responsibility of production/development of cardamom and export promotion of 52 spices shown in the schedule of the Act.
