Procedural due process is a legal doctrine in the United States that requires government officials to follow fair procedures before depriving a person of life, liberty, or property.[1]: 657  When the government seeks to deprive a person of one of those interests, procedural due process minimally requires for the government to afford the person notice, an opportunity to be heard, and a decision made by a neutral decisionmaker.

Procedural due process is required by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.[1]: 617
